  Pioneer 0 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pioneer 0 (also known as Thor-Able 1) probe was designed to go into orbit around the Moon and carried a TV camera and other instruments as part of the first International Geophysical Year (IGY) science payload.
Pioneer 0 consisted of a thin cylindrical midsection with a squat truncated cone frustum on each side.
The spacecraft was to be spin stabilized at 1.8 rps, the spin direction approximately perpendicular to the geomagnetic meridian planes of the trajectory.

The Pioneer mission to Venus consisted of two components, launched separately: an Orbiter and a Multiprobe.
The Pioneer Venus Orbiter was inserted into an elliptical orbit around Venus on December 4, 1978.
In May 1992 Pioneer Venus began the final phase of its mission, in which the periapsis was held between 150 and 250 km until the fuel ran out and atmospheric entry destroyed the spacecraft the following August.

Indeed, more than thirty years after its launch in 1972, Pioneer 10 is still cruising into interstellar space, sending back data as it courses through the galaxy while Pioneer 6, in solar orbit, is more than 35 years old and humankind s oldest functioning spacecraft.
But despite their enduring contributions, the Pioneer project remains a footnote in space history, little more than a humble prologue to its inheritors.
Mark Wolverton has studied the Pioneer project extensively, both while publishing several articles on the missions and during a 1999 science writing fellowship at NASA Ames Research Center, the birthplace of the Pioneer probes.
