Probe design considerations for a 1981 Pioneer Jupiter Orbiter/Probe mission are summarized. Extensive engineering analysis, design, and proof-of-concept testing of a reference probe system developed during the past three years are reviewed. Mission compatibility, science measurements, environmental characteristics, spacecraft interfaces, subsystem constraints, technology development, and programmatic factors are reviewed and discussed. It is demonstrated that for a low-entry-angle, daylight mission to Jupiter a 150 kg semiautonomous entry probe system utilizing state of the art technology is compatible with all the requirements.
