Scientific paper

Data derived from Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 and other sources on the Jovian magnetosphere, the circum-Jovian radiation belts, and Jupiter's radio emission are presented at some length, descriptions are given of the principal Jovian satellites (Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto), and inferences are drawn on the origin of the planet and its place in the solar system. The inner, middle, and outer regions of the magnetosphere, the bow shock wave, and the particularly heavy intensity of the inner radiation belt region (within 1.44 million km of the planet) are discussed. All of the major satellites except Callisto lie immersed in the intense radiation belts. Jupiter's failure to become a stellar companion to the sun, Io's action in 'switching on' Jovian radio emission, and other Pioneer discoveries relating to asteroids, the solar system in general, and trans-Jovian space, are discussed
