Scientific paper

Data derived from the plasma, magnetic field, and energetic particle experiments on the December, 1973 and December, 1974 Jupiter encounters are reviewed. A bow shock was discovered on the solar side of the planet, as predicted. However, a smaller magnetic field and larger fluxes of energetic electrons were found than anticipated. A ring current and current sheet in the Jovian plasmasphere are inferred from magnetic field measurements.
