The large data base of aeronomic parameters measured by the Atmosphere Explorer C, D, and E satellites since December 1973 has been used to determine a number of reaction rate coefficients highly relevant to our understanding of thermospheric chemistry. In this paper we review the results for ionic rate coefficients for recombination of NO + , O 2 + , and N 2 + , for reactions of O + + N 2 , N 2 + + O, and O O, and for various reactions involving O + (² D ) and O + (² P ) ions with O and N 2 .
