The Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft are subject to an unexplained acceleration which has a constant value of (8.74 1.33) \cdot 10-10 m\cdot s-2 and seems to be directed toward the sun. The hypotheses to explain this anomaly are either technical artifacts or new physics. This presentation deals with the unfolding of two aspects of my thesis: Doppler and telemetry data analysis with the objective to investigate the nature of the anomaly, and adapation of an ONERA accelerometer for a future mission in which the anomaly will be confirmed and more precisely measured. The presence of an accelerometer is mandatory for the identification of the anomaly's origin.
