Abstract
The University of Iowa experiment on Pioneer 10 is a simplified version of the originally proposed instrument. This simplification was due to the constraints specified by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration at the time of acceptance of the experiment. The reduced observational objectives of the experiment were:
-
(a)
To make an exploratory survey of the intensities, energy spectra, and angular distribution of energetic particles in the magnetosphere of Jupiter;
-
(b)
To measure the heliocentric radial gradient of the intensity of galactic cosmic rays E p ⪞ 80 MeV (Van Allen, 1972, 1973; Thomsen, 1974); and
-
(c)
To study the occurrence, intensity, and angular distribution of solar flare particles and their propagation through the interplanetary medium at large heliocentric distances.
