The imaging experiment on Pioneer 10
In the period plus or minus 4 days from Jovian pericenter, Pioneer 10 returned data from 153 imaging sequences. Data were obtained with the imaging photopolarimeter, a 2.54-cm-diam and 8.6-cm-focal-length steerable telescope configured as a narrow beam (0.5-mrad) photometer in a spin scan mode of operation. Images were obtained in two spectral bands (390 to 500 nm and 595 to 720 nm), and seven of the most interesting pictures are shown and discussed.
