safely through Jupiter’s radi-

heads for the Milky Way
Jubilant scientists have be-

earth’s, Pioneer began a voyage
which departs the solar system
in 1987 and subsequently enters •
the Milky Way.

life, the spacecraft carries a
symbol-covered plaque that
tells from where it came
Project scientists estimated
Monday night that Pioneer’s ra-
dio might continue to send data
for five years, out to a distance
of two billion miles from earth
