Scientific paper
The Pioneer 10/11 spacecraft and its scientific payload are described. The selected mission profiles and a summary of the scientific results are discussed. Results obtained during the traverse of the asteroid belt show that the particle concentration is less than had been theorized and does not present an appreciable hazard to future spacecraft passing through this previously unexplored region. Specific results from the Pioneer 10 mission and a 'first look' at the Pioneer 11 results from the 13 scientific instruments are presented. The particle and field phenomena measured within the Jovian radiation belt present a consistent picture which is, in general, an environment more severe and dynamic than that predicted by earth-based observations. Post-Jupiter trajectories for the Pioneer 10 and 11 missions are described.
