Scientific paper

The present 1D model of the nightside ionosphere of Venus assumes that ionization is maintained by day-to-night transport of atomic ions. Attention is given to the sources and sinks for molecular ions. If the ionosphere is primarily maintained by transport, the ratio of the peak densities of O(+) and O2(+) indicates the downward flux of O(+), independent of the absolute magnitudes of the densities. An examination is conducted of the inbound and outbound portions of six early nightside orbits with low periapsis.
