Abstract The results of the solar wind interaction with the local interstellar medium (LISM) theory are considered. The model is characterized by the presence of two shocks: a bow shock, a heliospheric shock, and a contact discontinuity. On the basis of the theoretical results and the Voyager data, the electron number density in LISM is estimated.
