Pioneer-10 encounter photos from T.V. monitors (Partially processed image of make of Jupiter using data from University of Arizona) Half moon of Juipter at midtime, range from 354250 km (Fig. 6.6 in NASA sP-349 Pioneer Odyssey - Enounter with a Giant. Eurpoa was to far away for Pioneer to obtain a detailed image. ARC-1973-AC73-9278

These four pictures of Jupiter's Great Red Spot were taken Feb. 2 and 3, 1979, when Voyager 1 was about 31 million kilometers (19.4 million miles) from Jupiter. The pictures were taken one Jupiter rotation apart, and that together they depict four days in the life of the centuries-old Red Spot. The pictures clearly demonstrate changes in circulation around the Red Spot during the 40-hour period. The photos were taken through a blue filter. Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages the Voyager project for NASA's Office of Space Science. (JPL ref. No. P-21148) ARC-1979-AC79-7008

P-29519BW Range: 500,000 kilometers (300,000 miles) Several craters are seen on the surface of 1986U1, one of the several small moons of Uranus discovered by Voyager 2. This single image, a clear-filtered, narrow-angle picture with a resolution of about 10 km (6 mi), is the only closeup the spacecraft obtained of any of the new moons. The moon was found December 30, 1985; it was the first and largest of nine satellites discovered by the spacecraft's cameras. This image shows 1986U1 to be a dark, nearly spherical object, with a diameter of about 150 km (90 mi); the dark surface reflects only 7 percent of the incident light. The picture was inserted into the Voyager encounter sequence late in its development.This image has had a complex history, having been recorded on the spacecraft tape recorder and first played back during the late afternoon of its recording. An antenna-pointing problem at one of the Austrailian tracking stations led to the loss of the data, so the image had to be retransmitted. ARC-1986-A86-7035

Apollo 9 This infrared color photograph of the Mississippi Valley area was taken by the four synchronized cameras in the Earth Resources Survey SO65 experiment. Shown in this picture are Vicksburg and Greenville Bend. At 1:08 p.m. EST when this photo was made, the Apollo spacecraft was at an altitude of 105 nautical miles and the Sun elevation was 55 degrees above the horizon. Location of the point on the Earth's surface at which the four-camera combination was aimed was 32 degrees 41 minutes North latitude and 91 degrees 13 minutes West longitude. ARC-1969-69-HC-394

AS11-40-5874 - Apollo 11 - Apollo 11 Mission image - Astronaut Edwin Aldrin poses beside the U.S. flag that has been placed on the moon

Range :12.2 million kilometers (7.6 million miles) The view in this photo shows Jupiter's Great Red Spot emerging from the five-hour Jovian night. One of the three bright, oval clouds which were observed to form approximately 40 years ago can be seen immediately below the Red Spot. Most of the other features appearing in this view are too small to be seen clearly from Earth. The color picture was assembled from three black and white photos in the Image Processing Lab at JPL.

The captions for these photographs are meant to suggest the lighter side of the intense activities that took place during these periods. I would like to express my gratitude to all participants in the Pioneer 10/11 program for their teamwork in accomplishing the scientific and technical objectives of the Pioneer 10 and 11 missions to Jupiter.
