The LLR result is consistent with analyses made with different data spans, different analysis techniques, analysis of optical observations, and independent knowledge of tides, and indicates lower rates of tidal evolution for extended past intervals.

A comprehensive finite-element thermal model of the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft is constructed and it is found that the magnitude, temporal behavior, and direction of the resulting thermal acceleration are all similar to the properties of the observed anomaly.
