Scientific paper

Analysis of Doppler tracking residuals from the Pioneer-Venus Orbiter on March 6-7, 1979 shows gravitational features generally compatible with Kaula's scaled rule for the planet. The track spectrum is significantly deficient only at 1 cycle, undoubtedly the result of the over-adjustment of the (simple elliptic) trajectory to the data. The low degree spectrum, from these passes, is possibly up to 30% stronger than the rule, the result depending on more exact mass-simulation of the orbit adjustment process. In contrast with the earth, the deep interior of Venus may be more active (if these passes are typical)
