Scientific paper

Previous solar optical and solar wind conditions observations are summarized, and Venus ionopause data taken with the Helios 2 and Pioneer Venus Orbiter spacecraft are presented for orbits 150-161. Those orbits encountered the results of an interplanetary shock wave initiated by a solar eruption and coronal transient of May 8, 1979. A significant compression of the dayside Venus ionosphere was detected two days later. The solar observations had been made in H-alpha at 10 solar radii, at 0.3 AU, and at 0.7 AU, using plasma and magnetometer monitoring of the shock wave.
