To chase down the history and existance of the Pioneer Jupiter and Saturn image data (and the lower resolution polarimetry images), basically somebody needs to systematically contact and query the original instrument team members *and* their grad students. Work on the polarimetry data continued longer <I think> than the images, through much of the 80's.
The Pioneer Venus data continued to be taken at times up maybe to the end of the mission, in the early 90's, and is much more likely to be intact <readibility of old tapes is a *real* problem>. Again, the science team members and their grad students are ones to contact. |

The NSSDC has the PVO cloud photopolarimeter digital dataset. They also have the digitial data for the Pioneer IPP at Saturn. That just leaves the Pioneer 10/11 datasets from Jupiter. -------------------- |
