  Pioneer
Pioneer 5 returned important data on solar flares, the solar wind, and galactic cosmic rays, and also established a record at the time of 36.2 million km for radio communication in space.
Pioneer 4 did at least manage to fly past the Moon, but its closest approach of 60,000 km was too remote for any lunar data to be returned.
Pioneer 5 was placed in a solar orbit which ranged between Earth and Venus and provided the first experience of communicating with a spacecraft at distances of tens of millions of km.

  Pioneer 5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pioneer 5 (1960 Alpha 1) was a spin-stabilized space probe in the Pioneer program used to investigate interplanetary space between the orbits of Earth and Venus.
It was launched on March 11, 1960 13:00:00 UTC with an on-orbit dry mass of 43 kg.
Pioneer 5 was the only completely successful probe in the Pioneer/Able missions, the rest of which attempted to rendevouz with the Moon.

 SPACEFLIGHT Pioneer 5
The objective of the Pioneer 5 mission was not the planet itself (Venus was not in position for an encounter), but rather a survey of environmental conditions in interplanetary space to demonstrate the feasibility of communicating with a spacecraft at great distances.
Pioneer 5 was eventually assigned to the new NASA space science laboratory at Greenbelt, Maryland, becoming the first deep space mission conducted by the Goddard Space Flight Center.
Pioneer had two radio transmitters operating at a frequency of 378 megacycles (MHz), one a low-power 5 watt transmitter for use when the probe was close to Earth, and a 150 watt transmitter for use at longer distances.

On board, on the instrument platform, were two radio transmitters, one of 5 W power, the other of 150 W power, that could be activated on command, able to transmit data at three different speeds so as to adapt to the increasing distance from Earth.
Pioneer-5 transmitted useful data with the 5 W radio until April 30, 1960.
When it was switched to the 150 W radio, because the huge British Jordell Bank radiotelescope was also losing the signal, it was discovered that the 28 batteries on board, vital for the functioning of the 150 W transmitter were slowly venting gas into space.

The closest predecessor to Amtrak's Pioneer was the Union Pacific's City of Portland, which ran from Chicago via the UP's Overland Route through Wyoming, then through Idaho and Oregon to Portland, where it connected with trains running over the Union Pacific/Northern Pacific/Great Northern Joint Line to Seattle.
The initial incarnation of the Pioneer in 1979 was as a train running between Seattle and Salt Lake City, making a connection at Ogden with the San Francisco Zephyr.
Beginning in 1991, the switching operation for the Pioneer was moved to Denver, as the train was rerouted through Wyoming over the route that had been abandoned by the San Francisco Zephyr.
