The planetary society may be checking it out... QUOTE The Planetary Society has committed to raise the funds to preserve the priceless Pioneer data from destruction.
After years of analysis, but without a final conclusion, NASA, astonishingly, gave up trying to solve the "Pioneer Anomaly" and provided no funds to analyze the data. The Pioneer data exists on a few hundred ancient 7- and 9-track magnetic tapes, which can only be read on "antique" outdated computers. The agency is going to scrap, literally demolish, the only computers able to access and process that data in the next few months! |

Not much reason to send one entire new mission or studies IMO.
The case might be quite closed and filed after JPL have had another look at the matter. The paper by Francisco, Bertolami and Páramos is found here: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1103.5222v2 |
