On the basis of data from the ISEE C satellite, the results of Steinitz and Eyni (1980), Eyni and Steinitz (1981), and Steinitz (1981) are corroborated. In addition, the scope is extended to another phase of the solar cycle when solar wind conditions are quite different. The temperature of the wind is seen to be related to the velocity in a way that alters with time. This indicates that the rate of energy deposition, or its distribution between thermal and kinetic forms, fluctuates during the solar cycle. On the other hand, the coefficients in the density-velocity relation have apparently remained unchanged between solar minimum and solar maximum conditions, thereby keeping the momentum flux remarkably constant. Barring the possibility of chance coincidence, the momentum flux in the solar wind may be even more invariant than Steinitz and Eyni suspected. This strengthens their conclusion that the momentum-flux invariance derives from initial constraints determining the evolution of the solar wind.
