先锋10号飞越木星
In this illustration by Rick Giudice from August 1973, the Pioneer 10 spacecraft passes by the gas giant planet Jupiter. The spacecraft’s primary goal was to explore Jupiter, its satellites, its magnetic field, and trapped radiation belts. Pioneer 10 was the first satellite to pass through an asteroid belt and the first spacecraft to obtain detailed images of Jupiter and its moons. Between 1972 and 1974, the Deep Space Network ground stations tracked the Pioneer 10 for over 21,000 hours. Pioneer 10 fell silent on its 30-year anniversary in 2002.

在1973年8月里克·朱迪的这幅插图中，先锋10号飞船飞越气态巨行星木星。该航天器的主要目标是探索木星、其卫星、其磁场和捕获的辐射带。先锋10号是第一颗穿越小行星带的卫星，也是第一艘获得木星及其卫星详细图像的航天器。1972年至1974年间，深空网络地面站跟踪了先锋10号超过21,000小时。2002年，先锋10号在成立30周年时沉寂了下来。
