PVO VENUS ONMS BROWSE NEUTRAL DENSITY 12 SECOND V1.0

Published by National Aeronautics and Space Administration | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: August 03, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-07-17
This data set was designed to determine the composition of the neutral thermosphere/exosphere of Venus. The term composition includes both the type of neutral gases present and their quantitative amount. The measurements begin at the orbit's periapsis altitude and extend to a limiting altitude at which the ambient signal becomes comparable to the gas background and/or detector measurement threshold. The neutral composition includes helium, atomic nitrogen, atomic oxygen, molecular nitrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The data reduction has been described in [NIEMANNETAL1980A] and [KASPRZAKETAL1980].
