Scientific paper

In the present paper, the results are presented of the first laboratory experiments in a high-energy plasma which investigate the electron temperature Te in the body wake. A large number of Te samples in the very near- and near-wake regions downstream from a conducting body are employed. The obtained results are compared with the experimental findings of Oran et al. (1975), Stone (1981), and others. The findings are discussed in the more general context of theoretical studies and of other relevant considerations. Attention is also given to the possible relevance of the results to the maintenance of the nightside ionosphere of Venus, and suggestions are made regarding some specific spacecraft observations which should be carried out using the Pioneer Venus orbiter.
