This data set consists of the analyzed data from the line-of-sight accelerations (LOS) obtained from the radio tracking data on the Orbiter of Pioneer Venus. The published plots ( Phillips, R. J., et al., Science, v. 205, pp. 93-96, 1979) were obtained from the data in data set 78-051A-23B. This data set presents (1) plots of LOS profiles from orbits 92-98 acquired March 6 through 13, 1979, at periapsis altitudes varying from 156-161 km, (2) depth of compensation, (3) gravity spectra for Venus and earth, and (4) gravitational potential power spectra for Venus, earth, moon, and Mars.
