Title: The anomalous trajectories of the Pioneer spacecraft Author: Nieto, Michael; Anderson, John; Laing, Philip; Lau, Eunice; Turyshev, Slava Abstract: Because of their unique designs, the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft have provided the cleanest Doppler, deep-space navigation data. Analysis of this data can be interpreted as showing an anomalous acceleration of these craft directed towards the Sun of $a_P \sim 8 \times 10^{-8} {\rm cm/s}^2$. The background of this discovery and the significance of the result are discussed. (Refer to PDF file for exact formula.)
