Abstract

To meet the specific scientific objectives of the Pioneer 10 and G missions, the importance of the simultaneous support of the still-active Pioneers 6-9 has increased. The Pioneer Project requires tracks during the radial- and spiral-type configurations of the Pioneer 8, 9, and 10 missions. Fields and particles data acquired by DSN will make possible the measurement of distribution gradients. This article gives the description of the radial and spiral configurations and opportunities, and the support requirements.
