>That means there will indeed be a different URL and any use of the old

>       Description
>
>This mission was the first to be sent to the outer solar system and the
>first to investigate the planet Jupiter, after which it followed an
>escape trajectory from the solar system. The spacecraft achieved its
>closest approach to Jupiter on December 3, 1973, when it reached
>approximately 2.8 Jovian radii (about 200,000 km). As of Jan. 1, 1997
>Pioneer 10 was at about 67 AU from the Sun near the ecliptic plane and
>heading outward from the Sun at 2.6 AU/year and downstream through the
>heliomagnetosphere towards the tail region and interstellar space. This
>solar system escape direction is unique because the Voyager 1 and 2
>spacecraft (and the now terminated Pioneer 11 spacecraft mission) are
>heading in the opposite direction towards the nose of the heliosphere in
>the upstream direction relative to the inflowing interstellar gas. The
>spacecraft is heading generally towards the red star Aldebaran, which
>forms the eye of Taurus (The Bull). The journey over a distance of 68
>light years to Aldebaran will require about two million years to
>complete. Routine tracking and project data processing operatations were
>terminated on March 31, 1997 for budget reasons. Occasional tracking
>continued later under support of the Lunar Prospector project at NASA
>Ames Research Center with retrieval of energetic particle and radio
>science data. The last successful data acquisitions through NASA's Deep
>Space Network (DSN) occurred on March 3, 2002, the 30th anniversary of
>Pioneer 10's launch date, and on April 27, 2002. The spacecraft signal
>was last detected on Jan. 23, 2003 after an uplink was transmitted to
>turn off the last operational experiment, the Geiger Tube Telescope
>(GTT), but lock-on to the sub-carrier signal for data downlink was not
>achieved. No signal at all was detected during a final attempt on Feb.
>6-7, 2003. Pioneer Project staff at NASA Ames then concluded that the
>spacecraft power level had fallen below that needed to power the onboard
>transmitter, so no further attempts would be made.

>The history of the Pioneer 10 tracking status is available from the web
>site of the former Pioneer Project at the following location:

>http://spaceprojects.arc.nasa.gov/Space_Projects/pioneer/PNhome.html
>
>Fifteen experiments were carried to study the interplanetary and
>planetary magnetic fields; solar wind parameters; cosmic rays;
>transition region of the heliosphere; neutral hydrogen abundance;
>distribution, size, mass, flux, and velocity of dust particles; Jovian
>aurorae; Jovian radio waves; atmosphere of Jupiter and some of its
>satellites, particularly Io; and to photograph Jupiter and its
>satellites. Instruments carried for these experiments were magnetometer,
>plasma analyzer, charged particle detector, ionizing detector,
>non-imaging telescopes with overlapping fields of view to detect
>sunlight reflected from passing meteoroids, sealed pressurized cells of
>argon and nitrogen gas for measuring the penetration of meteoroids, UV
>photometer, IR radiometer, and an imaging photopolarimeter, which
>produced photographs and measured polarization. Further scientific
>information was obtained from the tracking and occultation data.
