Scientific paper

The radio spectra of planetary emissions in the 1.2 kHz to 40.5 MHz range will be measured during the Voyager missions. Objectives of the planetary radio astronomy experiment include location of kilometric, hectometric and decametric radio emissions from planets, detection of radio emissions indicative of planetary magnetic fields, and measurement of plasma resonances near Saturn and Jupiter. Special attention will be given to the strong modulation of the Jovian decametric radiation by the Galilean satellite Io. The character of the Jovian aurorae may also be investigated.
