Beschreibung:
A crane in Hangar AO gently lifts the 2,000-pound Pioneer Venus Multiprobe for a final inspection by technicians prior to encapsulation in its protective nose fairing. The Multiprobe, the second of two Venus-bound spacecraft, is being launched by NASA on August 7 aboard an Atlas Centaur rocket. The Multiprobe will fly a direct path to Venus and its four heavily instrumented scientific probes will encounter the planet five days after the arrival of the pioneer Venus Orbiter launched by NASA on May 20, 1978. Together, the two Pioneer Venus missions will obtain more data about Venus than was gained through all telescopic observations and previous United States missions combined.
