The purpose of this investigation was to bring together selected Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) plasma and field data sets in order to derive the maximum information relating to ion savaging from Venus by the solar wind. These observations can be used to infer the evolutionary importance of such loss processes on this weakly magnetized planet. To make such inferences, it is necessary to understand the physics of the escape sufficiently well to model it under conditions of solar radiation and solar wind conditions expected for the early Sun. The plan was to attack this problem from several directions, first analyzing selected PVO observations of escaping ions and then modeling the escape process globally.
