Washington AP report outlines Pioneer 10's upcoming Jupiter flyby on Dec 3, its mission to capture the first close look at a moon-rich outer planet and transmit photos and data back to Earth. The unmanned probe, launched March 2, 1972, carries a plaque and aims to probe Jupiter’s atmosphere, moons, and the origin of the solar system while possibly shedding light on whether life or precursor conditions might exist in extreme environments.
