Figure 2-8. The Pioneer mission to Jupiter consisted of several phases of spacecraft operations: near launch, interplanetary, and encounter. The interplanetary phase continued after encounter with Jupiter. If the first Pioneer survived its encounter with Jupiter, the second spacecraft could be directed to a flyby that would hurtle it afterwards towards Saturn for a two-planet mission.
