The scientific instrument package had a mass of 15. 6 kg ( 34. 4 lb ) and consisted of an STL image-scanning television system ( which replaced the NOTS image scanning infrared television system on Pioneer 1 ), a proportional counter for radiation measurements, an ionization chamber to measure radiation in space, a diaphragm / microphone assembly to detect micrometeorites, a spin-coil magnetometer to measure magnetic fields to 5 microgauss, and temperature-variable resistors to record spacecraft internal conditions.

The Lee County Historical Society Museum is located in an 1845 general store in the Loachapoka historic district, located at " Pioneer Park ," a six and-a-half-acre park of 9 buildings and 5 gardens reminiscent of the 1850s in east central Alabama.

The private, for profit Pioneer Pacific College operates a campus, their main campus, in the city along Interstate 5 near the Boeckman Road overpass.

In order to understand the micrometeoroid population better, a number of spacecraft ( including Lunar Orbiter 1, Luna 3, Mars 1 and Pioneer 5 ) have carried micrometeoroid detectors.

The first plaque was launched with Pioneer 10 on March 2, 1972, and the second followed with Pioneer 11 on April 5, 1973.

A total of 16. 8 million Laser disc players were sold worldwide, of which 9. 5 million of them were sold by Pioneer.

By 1987, Pioneer had overcome the technical challenges and was able to once again encode in CAA60 — allowing a total of 60 minutes 5 seconds.

Pioneer 5 ( also known as 1960 Alpha 1, Pioneer P-2, and Thor Able 4 ) was a spin-stabilized space probe in the NASA Pioneer program used to investigate interplanetary space between the orbits of Earth and Venus.

Pioneer 5 was the most successful probe in the Pioneer / Able missions.

* 1958 – Pioneer 0, America's first attempt at lunar orbit, is launched using the first Thor-Able rocket and fails.

* Pioneer 0 ( Thor-Able 1, Pioneer ) – Lunar orbiter, destroyed ( Thor failure 77 seconds after launch ) August 17, 1958

* Pioneer 1 ( Thor-Able 2, Pioneer I ) – Lunar orbiter, missed Moon ( third stage partial failure ) October 11, 1958

* Pioneer 2 ( Thor-Able 3, Pioneer II ) – Lunar orbiter, reentry ( third stage failure ) November 8, 1958

Pioneer 0 ( also known as Thor-Able 1 ) was a failed United States space probe that was designed to go into orbit around the Moon, carrying a television camera, a micrometeorite detector and a magnetometer, as part of the first International Geophysical Year ( IGY ) science payload.

WFGA-TV was the first television station to air a live launch from Cape Canaveral on October 11, 1958 – a Thor-Able ’ s successful launch of the Pioneer I lunar probe.

Location and approximate trajectories of Pioneer and Voyager spacecraft as of April 4, 2007

The trapped radiation was first mapped out by Explorer 4, Pioneer 3 and Luna 1.

Pioneer Venus Orbiter or Pioneer Venus 1 was inserted into an elliptical orbit around Venus on December 4, 1978.

* Pioneer 4 – 3 March 1959 – Lunar flyby

Pioneer 0 was launched on Thor missile number 127 at 12: 18: 00 UTC on August 17, 1958 by the United States Air Force, only 4 minutes after the scheduled launch time.

Pioneer 4 was a spin-stabilized spacecraft launched as part of the Pioneer program on a lunar flyby trajectory and into a heliocentric orbit making it the first U. S. probe to escape from the Earth's gravity.

However, Pioneer 4 did not come close enough to trigger its photoelectric sensor.

Pioneer 4 was a cone-shaped probe 51 cm high and 23 cm in diameter at its base.

Pioneer 4 was launched with a Juno II launching vehicle, which also launched Pioneer 3.

Pioneer 4 was mounted on top of stage 4.

After a successful launch Pioneer 4 achieved its primary objective ( an Earth-Moon trajectory ), returned radiation data and provided a valuable tracking exercise.
