This thesis presents fundamental work that explains two mysteries
concerning the trajectory of interplanetary spacecraft. For the
first problem, the so-called Pioneer anomaly, a wholly new and
innovative method was developed for computing all contributions to
the acceleration due to onboard thermal sources. Through a careful
analysis of all parts of the spacecraft Pioneer 10 and 11, the
application of this methodology has yielded the observed anomalous
acceleration. This marks a major achievement, given that this
problem remained unsolved for more than a decade. For the second
anomaly, the flyby anomaly, a tiny glitch in the velocity of
spacecraft that perform gravity assisting maneuvers on Earth, no
definitive answer is put forward; however a quite promising
strategy for examining the problem is provided and a new mission is
proposed. The proposal largely consists in using the Galileo
Navigational Satellite System to track approaching spacecraft, and
in considering a small test body that approaches Earth from a
highly elliptic trajectory.
