===Launch and trajectory===
The ''Pioneer 11'' probe was launched on April 6, 1973, at 02:11:00&nbsp;UTC, by the [[National Aeronautics and Space Administration]] from [[Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Space Launch Complex 36|Space Launch Complex 36A]] at [[Cape Canaveral Air Force Station|Cape Canaveral]], Florida aboard an [[Atlas-Centaur]] launch vehicle, with a [[Star-37E]] propulsion module. Its twin probe, ''[[Pioneer 10]]'', had been launched on March 3, 1972.

''Pioneer&nbsp;11'' was launched on a trajectory directly aimed at Jupiter without any prior gravitational assists.{{r|pioneer-40th}} In May 1974, Pioneer was retargeted to fly past Jupiter on a north–south trajectory, enabling a Saturn flyby in 1979. The maneuver used {{cvt|17|lb|kg}} of propellant, lasted 42 minutes and 36 seconds, and increased ''Pioneer&nbsp;11''<nowiki/>'s speed by 230&nbsp;km/h.{{r|newsci-1974}} It also made two mid-course corrections, on April 11, 1973 and November 7, 1974.{{r|nasa1}}
