Data acquisition for measuring the wind on Venus from Pioneer VenusThe data acquisition and processing technqiues used in the Pioneer Venus differential long baseline interferometry experiment are discribed. The experiment was designed to measure the motion in three dimensions of the Pioneer probes during their fall to the surface of Venus, using a combination of Doppler and long baseline ratio interferometric methods. The design of the experiment and the equipment and software techniques that were developed specially for this experiment are also described.
