Scientific paper
We present data obtained during the Venus first orbits by the ASPERA-4 experiment onboard the VEX spacecraft. The main plasma regimes around the planet are discussed from ions, electrons and magnetic field measurements. The inner region Venusward of the magnetosheath is characterized by a sharp decrease of solar wind ions and the appearance of high fluxes of heavy planetary ions. Closer to the planet, CO2 photoelectrons sign the entry inside ionosphere proper. On the base of these VEX data we discuss the formation of the boundary separating solar and planetary plasmas.
