The Pioneer Venus program consists of two spacecraft: an orbiter and a multiprobe. Both will arrive at Venus in early December 1978. The orbiter will collect data on the upper atmosphere and fields and particles and will sense the clouds and surface remotely from a 75 deg inclined orbit. The multiprobe consists of a bus, three small probes, and a large probe. All five objects will enter the Venus atmosphere and will transmit data on its characteristics directly to earth while descending to the surface. The development of these spacecraft required the solution of many difficult and unique technical problems.
