Results of Pioneer 11's encounter with Jupiter are reviewed, and present plans for its approach to Saturn are discussed. The spacecraft is described together with its instrumentation, Jupiter-encounter operations, and scientific investigations. Scientific objectives at Saturn are outlined, including imaging of the planet, magnetospheric studies, measurements of Titan's mass and ephemeris, estimates of the mass of Saturn's rings, and penetration of the ring plane, particularly the D ring.
