2.1.7 Dust in the Outer Solar System – Review of Early Results from Pioneers 10 and 11
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The Pioneer 10/11 spacecraft, launched in 1972 and 1973, carried three experiments to measure cosmic dust. A comparison of these first direct measurements of dust in the outer solar system indicates that the sizes, optical properties, and spatial distribution are more complex than previously supposed.
