Burgess, Eric Frontier to Space.
New York MacMillan Company 1956 Hardcover Very Good with no dust jacket
Xvi, 174 pages, plates, diagrams, cloth, very good. Foreword by the Astronomer Royal Sir Harold Spencer Jones. From Wikipedia: "Eric Burgess (1920 – March 2005) was an English freelance consultant, lecturer and journalist, who wrote about the Pioneer program of space missions since the first tests in 1957. He was the science correspondent of the Christian Science Monitor in the period of many of the planetary probe launches, and was often the senior science reporter present at many of those events. Burgess was a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and British Interplanetary Society, and an associate fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He is credited with the original idea that the Pioneer probes should carry a message for extraterrestrial intelligences. He approached Carl Sagan about his idea, which eventually resulted in the Pioneer plaque."

Fimmel, Richard O. , William Swindell and Eric Burgess Pioneer Odyssey. NASA SP-396 Prepared At Ames Research Center
National Aeronautics and Space Administration 1977 First Edition Hardcover Very Good with no dust jacket
217 pages, well illustrated in color, diagrams, pictorial boards, very good. 8 by 11 inches. From the foreword: "These Pioneer spacecraft are unique: Pioneer 10 is the first spacecraft to fly beyond the orbit of Mars and through the Asteroid belt . . . Pioneer 11 is the first spacecraft to fly to the ringed planet Saturn." From Wikipedia: "Approved by NASA in February 1969, the twin spacecraft were designated Pioneer F and Pioneer G before launch; later they were named Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11. They formed part of the Pioneer program, a series of United States unmanned space missions launched between 1958 and 1978. This model was the first in the series to be designed for exploring the outer solar system. Based on multiple proposals issued throughout the 1960s, the early mission objectives were to explore the interplanetary medium past the orbit of Mars, study the asteroid belt and assess the possible hazard to spacecraft traveling through the belt, and explore Jupiter and its environment. Later development-stage objectives included the probe closely approaching Jupiter to provide data on the effect the environmental radiation surrounding Jupiter would have on the spacecraft instruments." ; ; pages
