Pioneer 11 Nears Jupiter for High-Risk Flyby Tonight
Pioneer 11 speeds toward Jupiter within half a million miles, planned to skim 26 600 miles above cloudtops at 9 22 p m PST. Radiation could threaten instruments, yet engineers expect a record breaking 107 000 mph close approach and a trove of data. The July 1979 mission aims to reveal Jupiter and its red spot, polar regions, and clues to life’s origins, amid proton radiation and uncertain outcomes.

Since 1972, 19 officers and 97 enlisted women served aboard Sanctuary at Mayport, with roles from nurses to hull technicians. Lt. Susan Canfield, the senior officer, will be promoted and teach at the Naval Academy. The shift may affect plans to base a carrier in Greece.
