Scientific paper

The oxygen atom density in the upper atmosphere of Venus is estimated by comparing measurements of the total emission intensity in the O I 1304-A triplet line with results of theoretical calculations. The data were obtained by means of the multichannel UV diffraction spectrometer aboard the Venera 11 and Venera 12 probes. Oxygen atom densities of 3.7 x 10 to the 8th per cu cm and 4.0 x 10 to the 8th per cu cm were obtained from Venera 11 and Venera 12 data, respectively, for a height of 150 km.
