Scientific paper
Recent progress concerning the thermospheres of Venus and Mars is reviewed in this report. A dramatic advance in our understanding of the upper atmosphere and ionosphere of Venus has occurred during the 1979-82 quadrennium, and was primarily due to the large amount of data generated by the Pioneer Venus mission. Progress on Mars has been rather modest and has stemmed from theoretical modeling efforts related to the 1976 Viking observations. This report covers the following topics: the thermosphere and ionosphere of Mars, the thermosphere of Venus, some aspects of the solar wind-ionosphere interaction of Venus, the dayside ionosphere of Venus including both composition and energetics, and the nightside ionosphere of Venus.
