Space Administration estimated it will miss the moon by 3E3000 miles and pass it around S v.m. It had been intended to send Pioneer within 10,000 to 20.000 miles of the moon. The Rus sians claim their Lunik came within 3000 to 4000 miles of the moon. Pioncer' departure from course seemed likely to prevent a try out of one of the devices aboard the cone. This IS a pistol-shaped photo-1 electric sensor designed to deter-1 mine whether later probes might take television pictures of the moon -Dr William H. Pickering, head of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said this de nice, triggered by the moon's light, would work only within 20,000 mite of the moon On the basis of the first day's performance, scientists antici pate the probe will be 188.931 miles away and slowed to 4990 miles an hour by 7 a.m. today. This was the fifth U.S. effort to shoot an instrumented payload to the vicinity of the moon or past it to orbit around the sun. The Pioneer is equipped with a better-powered radio transmitter de , signed to o n era te on a fre quency of 960 5 megacycles. It is intended to run for about 90 hours —enough time, scientists say, to got into a solar orbit. The thin gold plating makes the entire cone an antenna for send ing radio signals back to earth.
