Ko Command file: 04.06.08.17:15:00.cmd.log Activity: --------- 1) Venus Transit Sequence: 2004_GenExpOVI.tcl SCI_SPEC: We intend to observe absorption by the exosphere of Venus in the Ly alpha line against a background of coronal Ly alpha emission during the time when Venus is above 1.5 Rsun but within 2.7 Rsun where the corona is reasonably bright. At larger distances we will attempt to detect the ion tail of Venus in C II and C III. The ion tail observation includes searches for H I, He I and O I emission based on predictions by Geraint Jones for the shape of the ion tail.
