On glancing on my own website, I found that two statistical milestones are coming up soon:
100AU - distance of Pioneer 10 from the Sun 200AU - distance between Pioneer 10 and Voyager 1 Naturally, the Pioneer 10 mission is over and no contact exists with the spacecraft anymore, but still impressive! -------------------- |

And so today Pioneer 10 reached 100 AU from the Sun!
So, congratulations to the original team although the probe is already silent... Would have been interesting to receive some data still from Pioneer 10 since it is the only interstellar probe heading towards the tail of Sun's heliosphere. http://www.heavens-above.com/solar-escape.asp -------------------- Spamming the Solar System with greetings since 1997!

As I already told here, Pioneer 10 has been launched the very same day I had my first driving lesson. I'm very far from having driven 15.000.000.000 kms... but I'm still talking. -------------------- |
