Scientific paper

Determinations of the bow shock position near Venus obtained by the Venera 9 and 10 and by the Pioneer-Venus missions are compared. An asymmetry is found in the three-dimensional shape of the shock front and its position in the ecliptic plane, which explains the previously noted difference in the bow shock positions as determined by the Venera and the Pioneer-Venus missions. The bow shock asymmetry and an additional rotation by 7.5 deg of its symmetry axis in the ecliptic plane are attributed to the effect of the interplanetary magnetic field.
