Contact is maintained with spacecraft to record telemetry.[57] 1998-02-17 Voyager 1 overtakes Pioneer 10 as the most distant human-made object from the Sun, at 69.419 AU. Voyager 1 is moving away from the Sun over 1 AU per year faster than Pioneer 10.[57] 2002-03-02 Successful reception of telemetry. 39 minutes of clean data received from a distance of 79.83 AU[58] 2002-04-27 Last successful reception of telemetry. 33 minutes of clean data received from a distance of 80.22 AU[58] 2003-01-23 Final signal received from the spacecraft. Reception was very weak and subsequent signals were barely strong enough to detect.[58] 2003-02-07 Unsuccessful attempt to contact spacecraft[58] 2005-12-30 Pioneer 10 was projected to be 89.7 AU, traveling at a velocity of 12.51 kilometers/second (28,000 miles/hour), which is approximately 0.000041 the speed of light. 2009-10- Projections indicate that Pioneer 10 reached 100 AU. At this point, the spacecraft is approximately 271,000 AU from the nearest star (other than the Sun), Proxima Centauri.[59] [1]:61–94[60][61]
