During past three years from 1982 to 1984 we saw the further progress in the planets and satellites research by the space and ground-based technique, in the analysis and interpretation of the observational data. Inspite of some decrease of the activity in the planetary spacecrafts launches during this period (except of two Soviet missions to Venus) many important scientific results were obtained from the continued reduction and analysis of the measurements which were performed by Mariner 10 (Mercury), Pioneer Venus, Venera 13 and 14, Viking (Mars), Pioneer 10 and 11, and Voyager 1 and 2.
