Pioneer 10 Still Sending Information From Jupiter
Pioneer 10 continues transmitting data as it exits Jupiter’s magnetic field. The 570 pound probe was over 1.1 million miles from Jupiter, circling within 81 000 miles of the planet, and heading toward interplanetary space. It should cross Pluto’s orbit and reach the solar system’s edge in 1987, becoming the first manmade object to escape. The same session notes a separate AP report: the House approved a bill restricting foreign fishermen from catching lobsters off the U S coast, redefining lobsters as Continental Shelf species unlawful for other nations.
