    Description: Ultraviolet images of Venus obtained over a 3-month period show marked evolution of the planetary-scale features in the cloud patterns. The dark horizontal 'Y' feature recurs quasi-periodically at intervals of about 4 days, but has also been absent for periods of several weeks. Bow-shaped features observed in Pioneer Venus images are farther upstream from the subsolar point than those in Mariner 10 images

    Description: A preliminary report is presented of the results obtained by the Voyager 2 plasma experiment during the encounter of Voyager 2 with Jupiter from about 100 Jupiter radii before periapsis to about 300 Jupiter radii after periapsis, the instrument being identical to that on Voyager 1. The discussion covers the following: (1) the crossings of the bow shock and magnetopause observed on the inbound and outbound passes; (2) the radial variation of plasma properties in the magnetosphere; (3) variations in plasma properties near Ganymede; (4) corotation and composition of the plasma in the dayside magnetosphere; and (5) plasma sheet crossings observed on the inbound and outbound passes. From the planetary spin modulation of the plasma-electron intensity it is inferred that the plasma sheet is centered at the dipole magnetic equator out to a distance of 40-50 Jupiter radii and deviates from it toward the rotational equator at larger distances.

    Description: Voyager 1 plasma-wave observations have revealed the existence of an earthlike continuum radiation trapped in Jupiter's magnetospheric cavity at frequencies below the solar-wind plasma frequency. This radiation serves as an accurate diagnostic of the local electron number density throughout most of Jupiter's outer magnetosphere and yields information regarding the gross configuration of the magnetoplasmadisk as well as its kinematical properties. Magnetic-field observations are used to construct radial profiles of plasma pressure, density, and temperature from 20-80 Jupiter radii in the early-morning plasma sheet, along with plasma-sheet crossings and estimated thicknesses. The study suggests that hot protons (about 10 keV) are the dominant constituents of the plasma sheet (average thickness about 4.2 Jupiter radii) out to 80 Jupiter radii, beyond which centrifugal effects take over and distort the sheet toward the rotational equator.

    Description: A new component of the Jovian radio spectrum has been observed by the plasma wave instruments on Voyager 1 and 2 at frequencies ranging from about 10 to 56 kHz or higher. This Jovian kilometric radiation is characterized by storms of emissions lasting typically 45 minutes at 56.2 kHz, however some events persist for as long as four hours. The storms usually exhibit impulsive bursts with time scales of a few seconds to several minutes, although some events show smoothly varying intensities as a function of time. High resolution frequency-time spectrograms reveal a continuum-like background with more intense, narrowband features superimposed. The narrowband, or discrete, features tend to decrease in frequency with increasing time, falling about 1 kHz in 5 to 60 seconds. The maximum power emitted assuming an isotropic radiator near Jupiter and a bandwidth for the most intense bursts of about 10 kHz is about 10 to the 19th watts. The Jovian kilometric radiation is most likely observed within + or - 45 deg of 200 deg System III longitude, lambda III, although there is a secondary maximum near lambda III = 25 deg.

    Description: The beneficiation of lunar plagioclase and ilmenite ores to feedstock grade permits a rapid growth of the space manufacturing economy by maximizing the production rate of metals and oxygen. A beneficiation scheme based on electrostatic and magnetic separation is preferred over conventional schemes, but such a scheme cannot be completely modeled because beneficiation processes are empirical and because some properties of lunar minerals have not been measured. To meet anticipated shipping and processing needs, the peak lunar mining rate will exceed 1000 tons/hr by the fifth year of operation. Such capabilities will be best obtained by automated mining vehicles and conveyor systems rather than trucks. It may be possible to extract about 40 kg of volatiles (60 percent H2O) by thermally processing the less than 20 micron ilmenite concentrate extracted from 130 tons of ilmenite ore. A thermodynamic analysis of an extraction process is presented.

    Description: The age of the Shergotty achondrite is determined by Rb-Sr isotope analysis and the metamorphic resetting of isochron ages, which is presumed to have occurred during a shock event in the history of the meteorite, is discussed. The isochron best fitting the Rb-Sr evolution diagram is found to correspond to an age of 165 million years, with an initial Sr-87/Sr-86 value of 0.72260. Different apparent ages obtained by the K-Ar and Sm-Nd methods are interpreted in terms of a model which quantifies the degree of resetting of internal isochron ages by low temperature solid state diffusion. On the basis of these considerations, it is concluded that Shergotty crystallized from a melt 650 million years ago, was shock heated to 300 to 400 C after its parent body was involved in a collision 165 million years ago, and was first exposed to cosmic rays two million years ago.

    Description: The ionosphere, ionosheath, ionopause, and bow shock wave of Venus are characterized. Venus is found to have a well-defined strong standing bow shock wave. In the ionosheath, downstream from the shock, compressed and heated postshock plasma apparently interacts directly with the ionosphere. Plasma ion velocity deflections suggest that the ionopause has a blunt shape. The positions of the bow shock and ionopause are variable and appear to respond to changes in the external solar wind pressure.

    Description: Because meteorites are derived from asteroidal objects, the chronology of meteorites give age information on the histories of the asteroidal parents. With a few possible exceptions, the radiometric chronology of less than 4.4 Gyr determined in meteorites can be attributable to collisions among meteorite parent bodies. Three types of collisional chronologies which have been determined are: (1) cosmic ray exposure ages, which generally date the time of the last fragmentation of the parent object when the meteorite is reduced to meter size, and which generally fall over the wide range of 1-1000 Myr; (2) the collisional shock ages shown by many meteorites, which are believed to date the times of major collisions among parent bodies in the asteroid belt in the time interval of 30-700 Myr; and (3) the brecciation ages of several meteorites which are believed to date the times of their collisional formation from regoliths of larger parent bodies over the period of 1.4-4.4 Gyr.

    Description: Photometric measurements of the color and albedo of Io during the last 50 years are examined in order to determine the stability of the Ionian surface. Brightness measurements of Io relative to Ganymede show a slight, however inconclusive, increase with time, while light curve amplitudes and shapes are found to agree well during this period. The extent of volcanic activity observed by Voyager 1, however, is shown to be undetectable with the precision attainable by earth-based albedo determinations, and just barely detectable as color changes, which explains the observed photometric stability. Possible mechanisms for the preservation of the observed longitudinal distribution of color on Io are also discussed.

    Description: Each of the four Pioneer Venus probes carried instruments to measure the structure of the atmosphere, both below the cloud deck and above it to an altitude of at least 120 km. Preliminary results are presented on lower-atmosphere structure, thermal contrasts, and atmospheric stability. Altitudes derived from the data are given along with the temperature profile from 67 to 105 km, derived from the first analysis of the entry data from the north probe. All four probes lost temperature data at the 640 K level, which is at an altitude of about 12 to 14 km. Values of temperature and pressure at touchdown are presented in a table. The pressure differences imply terrain elevation differences at the landing sites. Above 40 km, the measured profile moves from near-adiabatic toward the theoretical profile for radiative equilibrium.
