Scientific paper

Far-ultraviolet spectra of Jupiter with a significant improvement in sensitivity and spectral resolution have been obtained from a sounding rocket by using a 10-channel spectrometer behind a pointing telescope. The major results obtained from these spectra are: (1) measurement of the Jovian H I 1216-A brightness (a comparison with other measurements indicates that the Ly-alpha emission is likely to be variable); (2) measurement of the wavelength-dependent albedo for Rayleigh-scattered solar radiation from about 1550 to 1875 A with approximately 25-A resolution, making it possible to set revised upper limits on the abundances of some of the minor constituents in the upper Jovian atmosphere; and (3) a demonstration that weak emissions between approximately 1250 and 1500 A and near 1600 A are probably the Lyman bands of H2 excited by low-energy electrons.
