Pioneer-V was 5.2 x 10^6 km (or 863Re) on Sun-Earth line on March 31, 1960, when first engulfed by solar plasma, but the peak of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) was only measured six hours later, after it was measured by Honolulu station. This study shows the IMF was produced 12.5 RE from the earth, but the question is where the IMF was produced?
