Pickup ions provide us with a new tool to probe remote regions in and beyond the heliosphere. Comprehensive and continuous meas-urements of H, He, C, N, O, and Ne, especially with the Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer (SWICS) on both Ulysses and ACE, have given us a wealth of data that are being used to infer the chemi-cal and physical properties of the Local Interstellar Cloud (LIC). Knowledge gained from this work will be reviewed with an emphasis on LIC characteristics, such as the isotopic and elemental composi-tion of the LIC gas, its density, temperature and ionization state, and limits on the strength of the LIC magnetic field. Using pressure-balance arguments and the latest values of the LIC parameters we will estimate the location of the heliospheric termination shock. Future directions for further dramatic advances in pickup ion meas-urements will also be discussed.
