The Pioneer Anomaly is a mystery involving the NASA Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft. Launched in 1972-73, they have traveled hundreds of millions of kilometers to explore the outer solar system and, soon, interstellar space. However, their speed is wrong, at least according to our generally accepted laws of physics.
