Scientific paper

Plasma spectrometer experiments were carried out in 1978-1979 with Venera probes and the Prognoz 7 satellite in order to study the solar wind and earth's magnetosphere. The specific objectives of the study were to investigate: (1) the heating and acceleration mechanisms of the solar wind ionic component, (2) interplanetary shock wave velocity and other parameters, (3) mechanisms of ion energy dissipation in bow and interplanetary shock waves, (4) ion and electron distribution functions of the solar wind, and (5) solar wind/Venus interaction during the passage of the Pioneer-Venus probe. The paper discusses experimental design and presents some preliminary results.
