Summary
Preliminary designs for unmanned orbital exploration missions to Jupiter are examined, and the operational options and systems requirements consistent with the major scientific goals of the mission are summarized. In general, each mission design provides repeated measurements of the interaction of Jupiter with the solar media, encounters at least two Galilean satellites with multiple encounters with at least one satellite at distances which allow photography with resolutions of at least 10 km; provides at least 10 orbital maps of the field and particle environment surrounding Jupiter, and provides synoptic observations of Jupiter over a range of wavelengths and various degrees of photographic coverage with resolutions of 300 to 30 km.
