This is not a good title. I think "Pioneer Venus" might be a better heading.
I added a
{{
WPSpace
}}
banner, with "spaceflight=yes | class=start | spaceflight-importance=Mid".
- And I've reduced it to stub.

This article is almost an exact copy of this site:

This article needs re-writing.

I worked on this project at Aames Research Centre, developing compiler software for spacecraft control. There was some truly intriguing technology went into this spacecraft - in particular, I remember the de-spun antenna and the incredible computation that kept it into line with the terrestrial Deep-Space Network (how do you align an antenna on a great rotating gyroscope? By clever use of roll index pulse spin delay). We used PDP 11's to manage it.
It's sobering to me to consider that I have more memory on my USB wristwatch than we had in the entire DSN.
