OUTWARD BOUND [Illustration: After increasing our knowledge of the Saturnian system manyfold, the spacecraft is now outward bound. It carries a message, engraved on a plaque, from Earth to any inhabitants of another star system who might discover the spacecraft. With its journey far from over, Pioneer Saturn travels on—to the outer reaches of space.] The Pioneer Project is managed by the Ames Research Center for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The spacecraft was built by TRW Systems, Redondo Beach, California.
