3 Mission Type: Flyby Launch Vehicle: Atlas-Centaur (AC-30 / Atlas 3D no. 5011D / Centaur D-1A) Launch Site: Cape Canaveral, USA, Launch Complex 36B NASA Center: Ames Research Center Spacecraft Mass: 259 kg Spacecraft Dimensions: 2.9 m long Spacecraft Power: 2 nuclear electric-power generators Maximum Power: 165 W (144 W at Jupiter and 100 W at Saturn) Antenna Diameter: 2.74 meters Ship Information

4 Spacecraft Instruments: 1) imaging photopolarimeter 2) magnetometer 3) infrared radiometer 4) plasma analyzer 5) ultraviolet photometer 6) charged-particle composition instrument 7) cosmic-ray telescope 8) Geiger tube telescopes 9) asteroid/meteoroid detector 10) Jovian trapped-radiation detector 11) meteoroid detector 12) fluxgate magnetometer

5 Flight Information Pioneer 11 had two midcourse corrections to be able to reach Saturn. At the time, it broke the fastest moving human-made object at 171,000 kilometers per hour (106254 miles per hour)

6 Pictures Taken Photographs indicated a more featureless atmosphere than that of Jupiter. The biggest moon, Titan. Jupiter Fly-By

7 Path of the Pioneer Pioneer 11 crossed the orbit of Neptune on 23 February 1990, being one of four space crafts that has done so. Like Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11 carries a plaque with a message for any intelligent beings that might find it.

8 Distance Travelled

9 Saturn's Rings Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune have rings, too. But Saturn's rings are the biggest and brightest. Galileo was the first to see and record them in 1610. Saturn has at least 60 moons, but can be hit with asteroids and destroyed
