Pioneer Lost In Skylab's Shadow
Pioneer Mission Control in Mountain View operates on a tight 65 million dollar budget with a small staff and patchwork gear. Houston's Johnson Space Center runs a large, busy operation tracking Skylab and manned missions with 30 consoles and a 20–30 controller shift per rotation, while Ames monitors Pioneer 10 and 11 with a handful of staff and minimal facilities as Pioneer 10 heads for Jupiter and a 1987 solar system exit.
