                       PIONEER 10 STATUS REPORT
                         February 8, 1991
 
     Three sets of roll reference scans of the star Sirius, using the
IPP (Imaging Photopolarimeter) instrument, were made on January 25.  On
February 4, a power failure at 70 meter Goldstone station resulted in a 37
minute loss of telemetry data.  During the same track, 2 commands were
aborted at the DSS (Deep Space Station).  The numerous command aborts that
have been occurring at the DSS's are being investigated by JPL.
