Recent results available from more rigorously analyzed Pioneer 10 data and the preliminary results of Pioneer 11 are used to further revise the satellite Io sheath acceleration model. The revised model is then employed to suggest an explanation for a number of earth-based and Pioneer 10 and 11 observations and to discuss other phenomena which might be detectable with future experiments. Particle acceleration near Io is discussed for the cases of negative sheath (face toward Jupiter) and positive sheath (face away from Jupiter). Io sputtering may explain the presence of atomic hydrogen and sodium in the vicinity of Io, and the accelerated particles may be important to the formation of the Io ionosphere. Directed fluxes of 100-keV electrons in the flux tube may lead to the decametric radio emissions, Jovian atmospheric heating, and optical and X ray emissions. Satellite modulation of decametric radio emissions is discussed.
