The Pioneer Venus Multiprobe entered the atmosphere of Venus #OTD in 1978. It was made of 5 separate probes: the probe transporter (aka the Bus), a large atmospheric entry probe (aka Sounder), and three small probes, which sent data to Earth as they descended toward the surface. https://t.co/TAgf8f1xfC

Other than being a test pilot, are there any jobs you could get at NASA as a pilot?
