Own an authentic segment of mission data tape from NASA's Pioneer 10 spacecraft, launched in 1972. Pioneer 10 was the first human-made object to traverse the asteroid belt and photograph Jupiter up close—a defining moment in deep-space exploration.

HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE
Pioneer 10 carried the famous Pioneer Plaque, humanity's first message to the cosmos. This data tape stored telemetry and imagery transmitted directly from the spacecraft during its groundbreaking mission to the outer planets.

PROVENANCE
Part of a rare cache of Pioneer-era data tapes that vanished for decades and resurfaced in 2015. Most were damaged beyond recovery; only a small number of reels survived in stable condition. This segment comes from that recovered archive.

DATA CONTENT
Verified by a veteran data-recovery specialist to contain 12 files, including at least 6 raw imagery files from the Pioneer IPP (Imaging PhotoPolarimeter)—binary image data transmitted from deep space.

DETAILS
• Authentic Pioneer 10 mission data tape segment
• Launch year: 1972
• Contains spacecraft telemetry and imagery data
• Each piece is unique, preserved from original reel
• May show minor age-related characteristics
