In its recent Jupiter flyby Pioneer 10 passed through a belt of intense particulate radiation. The radiation dose on the outer surface of the spacecraft was at least 4.9 × 105 rads from electrons plus 2.9 × 106 rads from protons, sufficient to cause significant microbial decontamination. The radiation dose inside Pioneer 10, approximately 2.8 × 105 to 4.9 × 105 rads, was less likely to cause microbial decontamination but would be lethal to man and to most multicellular biological organisms.
