"Pioneer anomalous acceleration" and Cassini
There's an article in the current issue of Nature that seems relevant to
the Pioneer anomalous acceleration question ("A test of general
relativity using radio links with the Cassini spacecraft" B Bertotti, L
Iess and P Tortora, Nature vol 425. No. 6956 p. 374,
doi:10.1038/nature01997)
AFAICS they have accurately modelled emission from the RTGs and they
don't see any unexplained acceleration.
Does that mean the question is settled, or isn't their measurement
sufficiently sensitive?
