Scientific paper

The exploration of the planet Jupiter with the aid of the spacecraft Pioneer 10 is discussed. Pioneer 10 had been launched on Mar. 2, 1972. The closest approach of the spacecraft to Jupiter came on Dec. 3, 1973, when Pioneer 10 passed within 81,000 miles of the cloud tops of the gigantic planet. The journey of Pioneer 10 through the asteroid belt is briefly reviewed and the various stages of the encounter of the spacecraft with Jupiter are described. The characteristics of the Jovian environment are considered along with details regarding the Galilean satellites, the Jovian radiation belts, and the new perspective on Jupiter obtained as a result of the Pioneer-10 data.
