Abstract
Based on data returned by Pioneer Venus, scientists are beginning to identify major features on the cloud‐shrouded planet and are working with an international nomenclature group to name them after mythical goddesses.The orbiting spacecraft now has mapped a belt of terrain that extends completely around the planet, except for a narrow strip of 38° which is currently being filled. The spacecraft radar mapper instrument measures terrain from 75° north latitude to 63° south latitude. Pioneer is mapping 83% of Venus' total surface.
