Electron concentration profiles of the nighttime ionosphere of Venus, characterizing the state of the ionosphere in equatorial and mid-latitude regions of the planet, were obtained from dual-frequency radio occultation data. In one group of measurements, the profiles had two pronounced peaks. The higher-altitude peak was located at about 134-114 km, with electron concentration in the range 3,000-8,800 per cu cm. The lower peak was shifted 17-14 km with respect to the higher one and had a concentration attaining 2,000 electrons per cu cm. A second group featured only one peak. The data reveal high variability of nighttime parameters of the Venusian ionosphere.
