Pioneer 6 7 8 and 9 were space probes in the Pioneer program. Together they formed a series of solar-orbiting spin-stabilized solar-cell and battery-powered satellites designed to obtain measurements on a continuing basis of interplanetary phenomena from widely separated points in space. They were also known as Pioneer A B C and D. The fifth (Pioneer E) was lost in a launch accident.
