This report deals with early results from the Pioneer Venus Orbiter and multiprobe missions, which encountered Venus on December 4 and December 9, 1978, respectively. Initial results for the multiprobe mission and for the first 30 days of the Orbiter mission have already been reported. Additional mission features and updated mission parameters based on refined tracking data and trajectory computations are presented here. Scientific results for both missions are discussed which cover the first 130 days (or orbits) of the nominal 243-day Orbiter mission.
