The variations of the global mass of heliosphere in the 23rd cycle of the solar activity are described. The results are derived from solar corona observations and from ‘in situ’ measurements made by the space probes SOHO, VOYAGER2, ACE, WIND, and ULYSSES. It has been revealed that though the total mass of corona fluctuates during the solar activity cycle approximately in a ratio of 1 : 3, the specific mass flow (q) in the solar wind does not change in the ecliptic plane. In the polar regions the q decreases during the minimum in a third of the original value and the velocity of expansion is roughly double. These findings are valid for the 23rd solar cycle.
