Title: The Pioneer Anomaly: The Data, its Meaning, and a Future Test
Authors: Michael Martin Nieto, Slava G. Turyshev, and John D. Anderson
Comments: 16 pages, 7 figures, to be published in the AIP Conference
Proceedings of the 2nd Mexican Meeting on Mathematical and Experimental
Physics
Report-no: LA-UR-04-7368
\ The radio-metric Doppler tracking data from the Pioneer 10/11 spacecraft, from between 20-70 AU, yields an unambiguous and independently confirmed anomalous blue shift drift of a_t = (2.92 \pm 0.44)\times 10^{-18} s/s^2. It can be interpreted as being due to a constant acceleration of a_P = (8.74 \pm 1.33) \times 10^{-8} cm/s^2 directed towards the Sun. No systematic effect has been able to explain the anomaly, even though such an origin is an obvious candidate. We discuss what has been learned (and what might still be learned) from the data about the anomaly, its origin, and the mission design characteristics that would be needed to test it. Future mission options are proposed.
