The Anomalous Acceleration of Pioneer 10 toward the sun of
about 10^-8cm/sec^2 at various distances r from the sun can be associated with the fact that the velocity of the spacecraft is greater than the orbital velocity the spacecraft would have in a circular orbit at the same distance. A rationale for this coincidence is given below. The speed of the craft,now 12km/sec according to Pioneer home page was about 36.67km/sec as it passed Jupiter while 29km per sec relative to the sun when it was on earth orbiting the sun. If the spacecraft was in orbit around the sun at a distance r from the sun it would have an orbital velocity of v from GM/r^2=v^2/r So its orbital velocity at a distance r can be compared to its actual velocity v*_r compared to v_r. The hypothesis is proposed that the mass of objects is proportional to the total number of protons and neutrons in the object and to the transverse speed of the object wrt its attractive center eg the center of the earth for objects on the earth or in orbit around the earth, and the sun, for planets and other objects like the spacecraft beyond the earth's orbit. The Pioneer 10 spacecraft is moving almost completely radially away from the sun such that the sine of the angle between its trajectory and a radial line to the sun is very small eg .001. The spacecraft is also free to rotate. According to this hypothesis there would be change in the attraction of the spacecraft to the sun proportional to the difference between (GM/r)^1/2 and v*_r. If r=10^12 then ((6.67)(10^-11)(1.99)(10^30)/(10^12))^1/2=3.66(10^3.5)=11.57km/se c about and the speed of the craft was probably more. The attractive mass of an object on the earth directed to the center of the earth is assumed to be due to electrostatic dipole inside protons and neutrons of length 10^-18 meters so that (6.67)(10^-11) times [(1.67)(10^-27)]^2 = (9)(10^9)(es)^2 if s=(.9)(10-18) is the gravitational force between two protons one meter apart represented as the force between two electrostatic dipoles one meter part and colinearly and attractively oriented. And so the gravitational force between the sun and the earth could be written as the force between radially oriented dipoles: GmM/R^2 = 9(10^9)mM[6.02)(10^26)]^2 times kK times s*S* times (2.56) times 10-38 divided by R^2 where the dipoles are es* and eS* and e=1.6(10^-19)Coul.;this implies kKs*S*= (.0079)10^(-61-11+38) = 10^-36 approximatelySince the Sun is .75H+.25He so that 1.75kg of Sun contains 6.02 times 10^26 molecules each of which contains on average 1.75 protons+neutrons so 1kg of the gaseous Sun contains 6.02 times 10^26 protons+neutrons in a volume that is larger of course than that of 1 kg of a solid planet; but 1kg of any planet or the Sun contains the same number of protons+neutrons. There are about 2(10^30) kg in the Sun. Hence the Sun contains 6.02 times 10^26 times M or 12 times 10^56 and the Earth contains 6.02 times 10^26 times m or 3.59 times 10^51 unit dipoles in the Earth. The total dipoles a 1.2(10^57)k(s)RS* and 3.59(10^51)K(S)Rs*. Hence . Now RkS* and RKs* are the magnitudes of the dipoles associated with the Sun and planet respectively where R varies from around 1.5(10^11)meters 10^10 to 10^13 meters. But we also know that the Earth's dipoles cannot be much larger than atomic nuclei about 10^-15meters =RKs* that Ks*=10^-26 which implies kS*=10^-10 and also RkS*= 10^(-10+11) so the dipoles on the Sun are 10 meters in length or the amount of charge in each dipole is more than e=^-19 etc. We assume, following the Wilson Bartlett relation between angular momentum and gravity, that dipoles in protons and neutrons on planets that produce their attraction to the sun is due to the orbital speed of the planets and so a part of the planet, like the spacecraft, when moving apart from the planet at a different speed will have its dipoles change and so its attractive mass will change. see http://www.bestweb.net/~sansbury |

More to the point, that means they will impart their kinetic energy to the spacecraft, which scales as V^2, not Marmet's explanation is unconvincing. It depends entirely on the density of dust in the outer solar system, which according to Marmet: This amount of dust in the outer region of the solar system appears quite reasonable remembering that the daily amount of dust falling on Earth is reported as many tons of dust grains per day. which is a completely fallacious argument. The number of "tons" of dust falling on the earth has nothing to do with the dust conditions in the outer solar system, because (a) one must normalize the captured "tons" by the cross sectional area of the earth; and (b) the conditions are different in the outer solar system. In particular, the dust density drops of precipitously beyond Jupiter. It is straightforward to show that the net acceleration due to dust is: a_dust = -2 (A/M) n V^2 m where A/M is the area to mass ratio of the body, n is the dust density, V is the body velocity, and m is the mean dust mass. This conservatively assumes elastic scattering. It is likely that the dust will be captured, in which case a_dust will be half the value quoted above. Dust properties in the outer solar system have been measured, in some cases by quantitative dust instruments on Pioneers 10 and 11 themselves (Landgraf et al 2002; Gurnett et al 1997). The there is a continuous density distribution. According to the above equation, the acceleration is heavily weighted to large dust particles, but these are extremely rare. The net densities are of order 2 x 10^{-17} cm^{-3}, with dust masses ~0.1 ug, leaving the net acceleration due to dust to be safely less than a few times 10^{-12} cm s^{-2}, far less than the quoted anomalous acceleration.

Let's be clear he the Cassini spacecraft shows a LARGER non-gravitational acceleration than the Pioneer's. But since it was designed to radiate RTG waste heat primarily out the back, this is not considered to be anomalous. Spacecraft Mass Acceleration P(rtg) mac/P Cassini 5200 kg -3E-9 m/s^2 10000 W 50% Pioneer 258 kg -8E-10 m/s^2 2000 W 3% F = ma is the force, and Fc = mac is the power needed to give this force in a photon rocket. Cassini is radiating its wast heat with a 50% asymmetry factor, while Pioneer only needs to be 3% asymmetric to explain its "anomalous" acceleration. Note that asteroids also show a non-gravitational acceleration due to the asymmetric radiation of absorbed sunlight. This is called the Yarkovsky effect. So there is no particular reason to require new physics to explain the behavior of the Pioneers. --Edward L.

Igor writes: Check out this link: http://www.newtonphysics.on.ca/Anoma...eleration.html It's an interesting idea. While I didn't check the calculations in detail, the method looks correct, and it certainly appears to produce an upper limit for the density of the Kuiper Belt of 1.4E-19 g cm^-3. What I wonder is how reasonable that density is. It seems awfully high to me. At a "normal" gas to dust ratio of 100, that's about 8E6 hydrogen atoms per cubic centimeter. I suppose one could argue that the gas is depleted, or maybe this density is reasonable. Anybody able to comment? One clear mistake in the web page is the assertion that the IRAS data show the Kuiper Belt. Dust in the KB is far too cold to have been seen by IRAS. The IRAS data sample the Zodiacal cloud roughly 1 AU from the Sun. (Of course the data average over a range of distances.) That's why the data are depicted as blue in the figu they represent the 12 micron observations. COBE produced much better data on the Zodiacal cloud, leading to detailed models. However, not even the COBE data detect dust at the KB distance from the Sun. The expected temperature is roughly 75 K at 30 AU. -- Steve Willner Phone 617-495-7123 Cambridge, MA 02138 USA (Please email your reply if you want to be sure I see it; include a valid Reply-To address to receive an acknowledgement.

its not anomalous except according to anticipation that a theory is
reality. part of the rational of sending out space probes is to monitor the actual reality and conditions of space verses theoretical space. I keep arguing with orthodox believers that vacuum space is a lot fuller that it initially appears. the two factors that lead to a higher density of vacuum space are having a very large solar or planetary mass and / or having a high relative velocity to the space per distance of a transit. the soft vacuum radiometer experiments in my literature , and classic texts, explains it perfectly. even the smallest spec of dust in the solar system can behave as a comet if its out of sync with the solar wind turn back orbital shells. the moons of jupiter and saturn offer a bit of a contradiction to the solar system model thus until you look at their thermodyamic stratifications as a matrix effect system with the solar overlay. Its even tells you where you will expect to see rings form.
