New estimates of the radiative heat load to a Jupiter entry probe have been obtained for revised models of Jupiter's atmosphere based on the latest data from Pioneer 10 and 11 missions and Earth-based experiments. The new estimates of the radiative heat load are compared with results obtained for the previous atmospheric models. The changes in Jupiter's atmospheric models cause a substantial reduction in the radiative heat load for the atmosphere denoted as 'cool', but only moderate reductions for the atmospheres denoted as 'nominal' and 'warm'. Results are also presented showing the effects of inertial entry angle for off-equatorial entries in the revised model atmospheres. (Kursetz)
