Scientific paper

The orbiter and multiprobe components of the Pioneer Venus mission are briefly described. The orbiter was launched on May 20, 1978 and was placed into a highly eccentric near-polar orbit around Venus on December 4, 1978, while the multiprobe was launched on August 8, 1978 and reached Venus on December 9, 1978. Parameters of the orbiter orbit are presented, and modifications of the periapsis altitude are described. The time sequences of the probe entry events are reported for the large probe, north probe, day probe, and night probe, which, along with the bus, are the components of the multiprobe. The multiprobe entry and impact locations as well as related data are reported.
