NASA reports a tube failure in Pioneer 11 transmitter but Ames Research Center switched to the backup tube with no data loss. If both tubes failed, the craft would lack power to send signals, but a double failure is deemed unlikely based on past Pioneer missions. Pioneer 11, launched April 5, is about 20 million miles from Earth and aims for Jupiter.
