This page contains philatelic information on the (later) Pioneer-series (planetary) spacecraft. Catalog numbers, years of issue, and notes are given when available. If readers know of additional information or images, please contact the authors using the e-mail addresses at the bottom of this page.

The first part of the Pioneer series, Pioneer-0 — Pioneer-E [which failed], were primarily lunar, solar, and inter-planetary-exploration spacecraft. Those (earlier) Pioneer (non-planetary) spacecraft are covered elsewhere. The second part of the series, Pioneer-10 — Pioneer-13, were for exploration of the planets, including specific missions of two Pioneers to Jupiter/Saturn and two Pioneers to Venus. Only these (later) Pioneer (planetary) spacecraft are included here.

1Pioneer-10 and 11 were also known as Pioneer-Jupiter-1/2, not Jupiter-10/11.
2Image of the satellite on this item has three identical booms, whereas Pioneer-10/11 have only two such booms, the third boom being much longer and slimmer.
3This WERABA-76 (exhibition) cinderella (vignette) contains reproductions of Switzerland 496, USA 1556, and Russia 4044
4Pioneer-11 was the only one of the Pioneer-10/11 pair to flyby Saturn.
5See here for a list of engraved/lithographed Russian definitive pairs known to exist with satellite overprints.
