Scientific paper

Our knowledge of the upper atmosphere and ionosphere of Venus and its interaction with the solar wind has advanced dramatically over the last decade, largely due to the data obtained during the Pioneer Venus mission and to the theoretical work that was motivated by this data. Most of this information was obtained during the period 1978 through 1981, when the periapsis of the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) was still in the measurable atmosphere. However, solar gravitational perturbations will again lower the PVO periapsis into the upper atmosphere in September 1992, prior to the destruction of the spacecraft toward the end of this year. The physics and chemistry of the thermosphere and ionosphere of Venus are reviewed.
