Scientific paper

Results from the first elliptic orbit of the Phobos 2 spacecraft are used to investigate the Martian dayside magnetosphere region where the shocked solar wind can directly contact planetary ions, leading to energy and momentum transfer from the solar wind to the planetary plasma. Attention is given to whether dominant microphysical processes resemble those of the dayside mantle region of the Venus magnetosphere. The Mars magnetic barrier region is identified that which corresponds to the Venus dayside mantle.
