The calculation of transport properties near the surface of a probe entering the atmosphere of Jupiter is discussed for (1) transport properties in the pure Jovian atmosphere, (2) transport properties for collisions between monatomic carbon atoms, including the effect of excited electronic states, (3) transport properties at the boundaries for mixing of the pure Jovian atmosphere and the atmosphere due to the injection of gaseous ablation products, and (4) transport properties for interactions involving some of the molecular ablation products. The transport properties were calculated using the kinetic theory of gases. Transport collision integrals were calculated for only a limited set of empirical and semiempirical interaction potentials. Since the accuracy of the fit of these empirical potentials to the true potential usually determines the accuracy of the calculation of the transport properties, the various interaction potentials used in these calculations are discussed.
