The fields and plasma science investigations that would be accomplished with the JIMO mission to Callisto, Ganymede, and Europa, are intended to address specific objectives [Khurana et al., this meeting]. Those identified as highest in priority are; (i) the search for subsurface bodies of liquid water, (ii) investigation of the plasma and radiation environments, and (iii) determination of surface and subsurface composition. Several other objectives of lower priority are also considered. Measurements would be acquired with a suite of instruments likely to include, among others, one or more plasma analyzers. As planning progresses, measurements gained with Galileo during near encounters with the icy moons will serve as one important baseline for definition of the requisite instrumental capabilities and overall mission design for JIMO. In this report we exhibit evidence of the plasma environments near each of these moons as recorded in measurements from the Galileo plasma analyzer (PLS), and discuss them in the context of the JIMO mission objectives with consideration given to the need for definition of instrument capabilities.
