Scientific paper

NASA would refurbish, test, and, provide ESA with the Pioneer H spacecraft with a new radioisotope thermoelectric generator, and ESA would convert this spacecraft into an orbiter to map the Jovian atmosphere. The study specifications and mission philosophies are described including the definition of a retro propulsion unit based on the 400 N Symphonie system, and scientific objectives on probe and atmosphere measurement, magnetosphere research, and Jovian satellite encounters as Amalthea, Ganymede, and Callisto. Spacecraft concepts, launch conditions, transfer trajectory, and arrival geometry are described.
