Several types of artificial graphite have been irradiated by laser pulses in vacuum, and the composition of the resulting vapor cloud has been determined in situ by mass spectrometric techniques in order to gain information pertaining to nonequilibrium ablation of graphitic probes entering planetary atmospheres. Results are discussed in terms of variations in concentrations of carbon species from their equilibrium values, and plotted curves illustrate the effect of nonequilibrium ablation on radiative shielding for simulated Jupiter entry conditions.
