Scientific paper

Recently published Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 observations are discussed. It is shown that the normalized momentum flux density of the solar wind protons is constant up to heliocentric distance 8.3-8.4 A.U. and its value is approximately equal to the observed values of other spacecraft at 0.3-1.0 A.U. This result strengthens also the previous suggestion that the momentum flux density is invariant relative to the solar activity cycle. A sudden and sharp increase in the normalized flux density of 40 percent-50 percent is observed by both spacecraft at 8.3-8.4 A.U. The nature of this increase is discussed.
