On October 19 1967, Mariner V spacecraft successfully encountered Venus; Perihelion was reached on Jan 4 1968 at solar distance of 0.58 A.U. -- closest approach to sun experienced by any spacecraft to date; resulting variation in solar intensity during mission made effective solar isolation requirement for spacecraft survival; design features which provided this isolation are discussed, and flight temperature data are given.
