NASA Sets Early 1972 Launch For Pioneer Probes To Jupiter
NASA announced an early 1972 launch window for two unmanned Pioneer probes to Jupiter with Atlas Centaur rockets from Cape Kennedy. The 525 pound craft will yield red and blue images and 13 experiments on a two year, billion mile voyage, reaching within 90 000 miles of Jupiter’s surface through the planet's radiation belt. The second probe follows about 13 months later in early 1973 under an $80 million program managed by Charles F. Hall at Ames.
