Pioneer 10 and 11
"Mike Williams" wrote: When the anomaly was first noticed, back in 1998, there were some whacky suggestions put forth that gravity might not exactly follow an inverse- square law, but that's been pretty well squashed by noticing that no such effects have been observed on other probes such as Galileo and the Voyagers. Whatever is causing the effect is specific to the design of the Pioneer probes. Voyager and Galileo are 3-axis stablized -- their thrustings would overwhelm any equivalent 'Pioneer anomaly' signal. |
