Abstract

VIRTIS-MIR, VERA SPICAV and ASPERA-4 measurements on Venus Express provide a valuable data for a systematic studies of Ionosphere of Venus. The present paper focuses on the development of a new theorical model of the ionosophere of Venus based on the new data of neutral species, temperature profile, magnetic pressure etecetra. The result obtained are found to be in good agreement with the results obtained in Venus Express Mission.
