The Doppler-tracking data of the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft show an
unmodelled constant acceleration in the direction of the inner Solar System. An
overview of the phenomenon, commonly dubbed the Pioneer anomaly, is given and
the possibility for an experimental test of the anomaly as a secondary goal of
an upcoming space mission is discussed using a putative Pluto orbiter probe as
a paradigm.
