Engineering models of the Venus atmosphere are presented for use in spacecraft design and mission planning. The models are developed from (1) data measured by the U.S. Mariner 5 and USSR Venera spacecraft, (2) earth-based measurements, and (3) theory which best satisfies the observations. The models include a most probable model and models for extremes of molecular mass and solar activity. In addition to the basic engineering models, other atmospheric characteristics and parameters affecting the models are discussed including planetary radius, atmospheric composition and clouds.
