Scientific paper

A description is given of the NASA/Ames Research Center Plasma Probe on board the Jupiter Missions of the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft. The instrument has two quadrispherical electrostatic analyzer units; one has high sensitivity and resolution and the other is capable of measuring large fluxes of solar wind particles. The two analyzer units measure particle energy-to-charge ratio, flux, and direction of flow for positive ions and electrons over the wide range of particle densities found in the solar wind during the Jupiter missions. Data formats in space and ground data processing, the NASA/Ames Research Center plasma probe calibration facility, and the instrument response functions are also described.
