(choose chapter or problem)

The first of all Earth spacecraft to venture into interstellar space were Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11, which were launched in 1972 and 1973, respectively. Their missions took them past Jupiter and Saturn and eventually beyond the solar system. Both spacecraft carry a metal plaque with artwork (reproduced on page 206) that shows where the spacecraft is from and what sort of creatures designed it.
