Possible test at Jupiter of the nonsymmetric gravitational theoryRadiometric data generated during spacecraft flybys of Jupiter have the capability to provide an interesting constraint on the coupling of cosmions in the nonsymmetric gravitational theory (NGT) of Moffat. It is shown that the close flyby of Jupiter by Pioneer 11 could imply a possible limit on the NGT l parameter of the sun of solar l less than 2800 km, a limit which could affect the ability of the NGT to account for the precession of the perihelion of Mercury with a large solar quadrupole moment.
