I saw on the news this morning that today is the 25th anniversary of
pioneer 6. They said it was the oldest functioning satellite.

What type of data is pioneer 6 recording? and do we still find this
information useful? or by "functioning" do they mean simple that it
still works and its long outlived its usefulness.

Thanks,
