Comment on ``Indication, from Pioneer 10/11, Galileo and Ulysses Data, of an Apparent Anomalous, Weak, Long-Range Acceleration''

Abstract

The reported anomalous acceleration may be explained as the recoil of radiated waste RTG heat scattered by the back of the high gain antenna.

arXiv comment4pp, Revtex, recoil force now calculated numerically from Pioneer engineering data, conclusions unchanged
