Electromagnetic radiation

In physics, electromagnetic radiation (EMR) consists of waves of the electromagnetic (EM) field, which propagate through space and carry momentum and electromagnetic radiant energy.

See Pioneer P-31 and Electromagnetic radiation

Geiger–Müller tube

The Geiger–Müller tube or G–M tube is the sensing element of the Geiger counter instrument used for the detection of ionizing radiation.

See Pioneer P-31 and Geiger–Müller tube

Ionization chamber

The ionization chamber is the simplest type of gaseous ionisation detector, and is widely used for the detection and measurement of many types of ionizing radiation, including X-rays, gamma rays, alpha particles and beta particles.

See Pioneer P-31 and Ionization chamber

Irradiance

In radiometry, irradiance is the radiant flux received by a surface per unit area.

See Pioneer P-31 and Irradiance

Magnetic field

A magnetic field (sometimes called B-field) is a physical field that describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, and magnetic materials.

See Pioneer P-31 and Magnetic field

Mercury-Atlas 1

Mercury-Atlas 1 (MA-1) was the first attempt to launch a Mercury capsule and occurred on July 29, 1960 at Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Pioneer 5

Pioneer 5 (also known as Pioneer P-2, and Able 4, and nicknamed the "Paddle-Wheel Satellite") was a spin-stabilized space probe in the NASA Pioneer program used to investigate interplanetary space between the orbits of Earth and Venus. Pioneer P-31 and Pioneer 5 are Pioneer program and Spacecraft launched in 1960.

Pioneer P-30

Pioneer P-30 (also known as Able 5A, Atlas-Able 5A, or Pioneer Y) was intended to be a lunar orbiter probe, but the mission failed shortly after launch on September 25, 1960. Pioneer P-31 and Pioneer P-30 are missions to the Moon, Pioneer program and Spacecraft launched in 1960.

See Pioneer P-31 and Pioneer P-30

Pioneer program

The Pioneer programs were two series of United States lunar and planetary space probes exploration.

Radiation

In physics, radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or a material medium.

See Pioneer P-31 and Radiation

Radio wave

Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with the lowest frequencies and the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, typically with frequencies below 300 gigahertz (GHz) and wavelengths greater than, about the diameter of a grain of rice.

See Pioneer P-31 and Radio wave

Ranger 7

Ranger 7 was the first NASA space probe to successfully transmit close-up images of the lunar surface back to Earth.

See Pioneer P-31 and Ranger 7

Topography

Topography is the study of the forms and features of land surfaces.

Ultra high frequency

Ultra high frequency (UHF) is the ITU designation for radio frequencies in the range between 300 megahertz (MHz) and 3 gigahertz (GHz), also known as the decimetre band as the wavelengths range from one meter to one tenth of a meter (one decimeter).

See Pioneer P-31 and Ultra high frequency

United States

The United States of America (USA or U.S.A.), commonly known as the United States (US or U.S.) or America, is a country primarily located in North America.
