Pioneer 10 - Missing web site moving to NASA's ONE PORTAL

At the moment this link doesn't work.
(http://spaceprojects.arc.nasa.gov/Space_Projects)

Information from Dr. Lawrence Lasher indicates that the Pioneer 10
information on the NASA Ames server is moving to NASA's ONE PORTAL.

That means there will indeed be a different URL and any use of the old
links will break.

Yesterday Gérald Cloutier sent me a list of the whole web site that is
at the WebArchive but I think these are the one you would need for the
Pioneer information.

Dr. Lasher said he would give me the new URL when the material is posted
and I will pass that to you when I get it.
When we get it you can all pass along to anyone with a reference to the
old URL so they can update to the new one.

Ron Wells passed this as well.

I just did a search at:

http://www.archive.org/web/web.php

with the URL:
http://spaceprojects.arc.nasa.gov/Space_Projects/pioneer/PNhome.html

and I got the page, and the links all work!@!! or at least the first one
did.

Thanks for looking up with me.

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.
