  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 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 9 finally failed in 1983 after 15 years service, contact with Pioneer 6 was reestablished on Dec. 8, 2000 –; 35 years after launch, and data from one science instrument on each of Pioneer 7 and 8 are still being received.

Pioneer IV, a joint project of the Army Ballistic Missile Agency and Jet Propulsion Laboratory under the direction of NASA, was launched by a Juno II rocket from the Atlantic Missile Range.
As of Jan. 1, 1997 Pioneer 10 was at about 67 AU from the Sun near the ecliptic plane and heading outward from the Sun at 2.6 AU/year and downstream through the heliomagnetosphere towards the tail region and interstellar space.
Pioneer 11 was the second mission to investigate Jupiter and the outer solar system and the first to explore the planet Saturn and its main rings.

 Ley Farming - Chapter 9
A pioneer crop may be defined as one that is pre-eminently suitable as a first crop to be used on derelict land with a view to paving the way to bringing such land into a condition capable of sustained and profitable crop production.
The disadvantage of lucerne as a pioneer crop is that to be of full value as a fodder crop and as a pioneer, it should hold the land for at least four years.
These pioneer mixtures are applicable to the poorest and roughest of grazings: the thesis is this: to achieve as rapidly as possible a heavy crop of green eatables, and these to be returned to the soil via the grazing animal.

The third stage was required to rocket Pioneer 10 to the speed of 51,810 kilometers per hour (32,400 mph) needed for the flight to Jupiter.
During the passage by Jupiter, Pioneer 10 obtained the first close-up images of the planet, charted Jupiter's intense radiation belts, located the planet's magnetic field, and discovered that Jupiter is predominantly a liquid planet.
In September 1995, Pioneer 11 was at a distance of 6.5 billion km (4 billion miles) from Earth.

Pioneer A to E (Pioneer 6 to 9 after launch) were a series of five solar-orbiting, spin-stabilized, solar-cell and battery-powered satellites designed to obtain measurements of interplanetary phenomena from widely separated points in space on a continuing basis.
The spacecrafts carried experiments to study positive ions and electrons in the solar wind, the interplanetary electron density (radio propagation experiment), solar and galactic cosmic rays, and the interplanetary magnetic field.
The spacecrafts were spin-stabilized at about 60 rpm, and the spin axis was perpendicular to the ecliptic plane and pointed approximately toward the south ecliptic pole.
