Scientific paper
The history of U.S. and Soviet space missions probing the magnetosheath and magnetotail of Venus is recalled; current models of solar-wind interaction with Venus are reviewed; and recommendations for further study of the existing data and for future space missions are discussed. Sections are devoted to the bow shock, ionopause, and neutral exosphere; the dayside and near-terminator magnetosheath (macroscopic properties, turbulence and waves, magnetic barrier, ion pickup theory, and the magnetosheath boundary layer); the near-planet wake and nightside magnetosheath; and the magnetotail (formation and configuration, magnetic-field observations, and plasma and plasma-wave observations). Extensive diagrams and graphs are provided.
