Study of the Pioneer Anomaly: A scientific detective story
Abstract
Description
NASA's first two deep space missions, Pioneers 10 and 11, have been travelling through the outer solar system for three decades. A slight deviation from their calculated trajectories presents an as yet unsolved scientific mystery. The use of recently recovered Doppler and telemetry data may help us develop a better understanding of this anomaly, and decide whether or not it is due to a force of on-board origin.
