Scientific paper

The recent measurements performed by the MGS, MEX and VEX spacecraft provided us with a lot of new information about solar wind interaction with nonmagnetic Mars and Venus. On the other hand the absence of a magnetometer on MEX, a plasma package on MGS and a detector of cold plasma on MGS and VEX impose serious constraints on our vision of the relationship between planetary plasma environments and atmospheric escape processes. Therefore the mutual lessons from the observations made on both planets by different spacecraft might be very useful and bring us some missing important information. We will discuss in this context structure and dynamics of the interface between the solar wind and the planetary ionospheres, processes of ion energization driven by direct solar wind forcing, morphology and effectiveness of different channels and routes through which the ionized planetary matter escapes the planets, their variability with solar wind parameters.
