Scientific paper

Radio occultation measurements of the nocturnal ionosphere of Venus were performed by the Venera 9 and 10 probes, consisting of the transmission of two coherent signals, one at 32 cm, the other at 8 cm. The signals were received on earth where the phase difference between them was measured by means of digital and analog instruments. This paper presents results of analog measurements. The principal result of the occultation measurements is data on the vertical electron density profiles of the nocturnal ionosphere. A great variability of these profiles, possibly associated with the ionization source forming the ionosphere, is indicated.
