Scientific paper

The possibility that single ionized helium enhancements observed near 1 AU are the result of ion pickup from Venus is analyzed and found to be implausible. It is still possible, however, that Venus ions are present in the solar wind with sufficiently high fluxes to be detectable by earth-orbiting satellites near the time of inferior conjunction. Because of the inclination of the orbit of Venus to the ecliptic, some inferior conjunctions are more favorable for such a search than others. The inferior conjunctions on June 17, 1972 and June 15, 1980 are most favorable for detection.
