The Pioneer 10/11 spacecraft and scientific instruments are described. The Pioneer 10/11 trajectories are described, mission objectives are discussed, and a summary of scientific findings is presented. Results obtained during the traverse of the Asteroid Belt show that the particle concentration is less than had been expected and does not present an appreciable hazard to spacecraft passing through the Belt. The results from six scientific instruments that measured the particle and field phenomena within the Jupiter radiation belt present a consistent picture which, in general, is an environment more severe than normal previous predictions based on earth observations.
