Zusammenfassung
Voyager 2 has been observing plasma in the heliosheath since August 2007. We present the most recent data which shows that the plasma speed has remained fairly constant while the flow direction has turned toward the heliotail, with flows about 60 degrees from the radial direction. The density has increased by a factor of two over the past year, possibly due to solar cycle changes as solar maximum approaches. The heliosheath remains a highly variable environment with changes in plasma parameters occurring on time scales of tens of minutes. These Voyager 2 data will be compared with the Voyager 1 observations, which show a very different speed profile than observed at Voyager 2.
