The composition of the atmospheres of the Jovian planets is probably representative of the composition of the original matter from which the solar system was formed. An entry probe would be required for obtaining quantitative data about the atmosphere as a function of altitude. A mission involving the detachment of an atmospheric entry probe from a Pioneer spacecraft is being considered. Instruments in the probe are to measure pressure, temperature, and composition of the atmosphere during descent. The Pioneer spacecraft is to serve as a communications relay for the data transmitted from the probe.
