Independent Bennett radio-frequency ion mass spectrometers on the Pioneer Venus bus and orbiter spacecraft obtained in situ measurements of the composition of the ionosphere of Venus. The spectrometer on the bus explored the dawn region while the spectrometer on the orbiter explored the duskside region. Information on the ion composition in the topside, the lower ionosphere, and the upper ionosphere is presented. Below the O(+) peak near 200 km, the ions are found to exhibit scale heights consistent with a neutral gas temperature of about 180 K near the terminator. In the upper ionosphere, scale heights of all species reflect the effects of plasma transport.
