The twenty-nine papers presented in this volume have been divided into three chapters. Latest results on Mars and Phobos Studies accounts for five papers in Chapter 1. Recent results on Venus presents observational studies of the Venus lower, middle and upper atmospheres including continuing Pioneer Venus and Venera spacecraft data analysis and initial analysis of data from the Galileo encounter. Other topics include comparisons between the Venus and Earth atmospheres, observations of Venus from Earth and possible future exploration of the Venus atmosphere. The final chapter contains fourteen papers under the heading Martian Plasma Environment.
