To model and quantify the comet-like interactions with the atmosphere of Venus the extent and time-variability of the suprathermal exospheric coronas need to be established. An extensive suprathermal O corona hypothesized to arise via dissociative recombination of the dominant ion was confirmed by the Orbiter’s UV spectrometer. Uncertainties remain, firstly because the O-corona’s extension beyond the observed limit of 1500 km altitude depends on the poorly-known partition between dissociation channels, secondly because the ionosphere varies substantially with solar UV inputs, and thirdly because the ionosphere and therefore O-corona decrease strongly from dayside to nightside (Kliore et al., Adv. Space Res. 5(11), 1985).
