Some properties of a model magnetosphere for Saturn were studied in order to determine the bounds that can be set on surface field strength and trapped particle population. The primary observational constraint was that nonthermal radiation similar to the Jovian radio emissions must be undetectable from Earth. It is argued that for a Saturn surface field of approximately one gauss, particles that are energized as they diffuse in from the magnetopause with conservation of magnetic moment will produce synchrotron radiation levels that are undetectable at a range of 9.5 AU. The plasma instabilities that heat the oncoming wind particles at the bow shock and others that can limit the stably-trapped flux levels are also discussed.
Contracts are reported between the RTI TATeam and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and other governmental, educational, and industrial organizations participating in NASA's Technology Utilization Program.
Requirements related to scientific observations of planetary radio emissions during outer planets grand tours are discussed. Observations at low frequencies where non-thermal cooperative plasma phenomena play a major role are considered for determining dynamical processes and magnetic fields near a planet. Magnetic field measurements by spacecraft magnetometers, and by radio receivers in their harmonic modes are proposed for interpretation of planetary radio emission.
