The final firm positions computation was made by National Aeronautics Space Administration tracking station at Goldstone Dry Lake in California's Mojave Desert. It came at 10:15 a.m. Then a special filter was brought into play and the man-made asteroid was tracked for nine minutes longer.
When the last contact was reported by the GE station shortly before noon, Pioneer had been in flight nearly 84 hours. It was launched from Cape Canaveral, early Tuesday in the nose of a mighty Juno rocket.
