That's an astronomer speaking ( Saturn's rings appear much narrower in 2008 & 2009 )
However for Pioneer 11's passage of Saturn, NASA had 2 options. They've chosen the safer trajectory. Those interested in the complete background story of selecting Pioneer 11's flyby option of Saturn, can turn to: Quest - The History of Spaceflight Quarterly ( Volume 7 number 4 - Spring 2000 ) Pathfinding the Rings: The Pioneer Saturn Trajectory Decision ( By Mark Wolverton ) |
