The principal scientific objectives of Pioneer 10 are to investigate the nature of the interplanetary medium beyond the orbit of Mars, including the asteroid belt, and to make direct, in situ, observations of the planet Jupiter and its environment. successful flyby of Jupiter by Pioneer 10 achieved the latter objectives; however, the interplanetary objectives are still being pursued in the present post-encounter mission beyond Jupiter. Present estimates are that the Pioneer 10 spacecraft can be utilized for interplanetary observations to a solar radial distance of at least 20 AU. (NL)
