The Pioneer Venus Orbiter carried 17 experiments ( with a total mass of 45 kg ):

The Pioneer Venus Multiprobe or Pioneer Venus 2 comprised a bus which carried one large and three small atmospheric probes.

It was the only mission in the Pioneer program carried out by the United States Air Force, as subsequent missions were conducted by NASA.

It carried a payload similar to Pioneer 3: a lunar radiation environment experiment using a Geiger-Müller tube detector and a lunar photography experiment.

However, like the Pioneer PX-7, it also carried a sophisticated hardware interface that handled video superimposition and various interactive video processing features.

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.

More than 100 Convair-produced Atlas-Centaur rockets ( including those with their successor designations ) were used to successfully launch over 100 satellites, and among their many other outer space missions, they launched the Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 space probes, the first two to be launched on trajectories that carried them out of the Solar System.

From 1981 until the early 1990s, all properly licensed discs carried the LaserVision name and logo, even Pioneer Artists titles.

From the 1920s to the 1960s, the railway also carried gold concentrate and bullion from the Bridge River goldfield towns of Bralorne and Pioneer Mine, which were trucked out of the goldfield area over the high Mission Pass to the railway at Shalalth.

While at UCLA he carried out research involving observations by the NASA Pioneer Venus Spacecraft.

Napoleon's Pioneer Corps also carried axes that were used for clearing vegetation — a practice employed by similar units in other armies.

While the catalog heavily promoted their own branded products, Lafayette also carried models from many other hi-fi manufacturers of the era, including Marantz, Fisher, Pioneer, AR, Dynaco, KLH, Wharfedale, Bozak, BIC, Garrard, Dual, TEAC, Akai, Shure, Pickering, Electro-Voice, JVC, Panasonic, Sony and others.

In 1880 a two-horse carriage carried passengers and freight from roughly today's Pioneer Square to Belltown every two hours at a fare of 12. 5 cents in an open coach or 15 cents in a covered coach.

After working as a Faculty Member at MIT and Assistant Professor at University of Texas at Dallas where he carried out investigations as a prime experimenter on a number of Pioneer and Explorer spacecrafts, Prof. Rao returned to India in 1966 as Professor at the Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad.

Intriguingly for planetary geologists, atmospheric studies carried out by the Pioneer Venus probes in the early 1980s revealed a considerable variation in the concentrations of sulfur dioxide ( SO < sub > 2 </ sub >) and methane ( CH < sub > 4 </ sub >) in Venus ' middle and upper atmosphere.

An example of an interstellar approach to describing the location of Earth is the plaque carried by the Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 spacecraft, where pulsars are used as references.
