An IR remote sensing instrument, similar in principle to some of those on terrestrial meteorological satellites, was flown to Venus on board the Pioneer Venus orbiter. Observations of the atmosphere were made from 5 December 1978 until 14 February 1979, during seventy-two orbits of the planet. The optical techniques employed and the design and implementation of the instrument are described.
一台红外遥感仪器，其原理与一些陆地气象卫星上的仪器相似，搭载在“先驱者-金星”轨道飞行器上被送往金星。从1978年12月5日至1979年2月14日，在环绕金星的七十二圈轨道运行期间对其大气层进行了观测。文中描述了所采用的光学技术以及该仪器的设计与实现。
