Scientific and engineering analyses of Jupiter's energetic electrons and protonsDetails of magnetic field conclusions, UHF radio data sets, and the theoretical synchrotron radiation descriptions are summarized for several published and unpublished analyses. The relatively compact set of electron models inspires some confidence in their validity, particularly as they have been derived from numerous data and analysis techniques. Although the models have serious consequences for spacecraft design, the problems they imply are probably soluble with technologies anticipated for spacecraft to be designed for Jupiter encounter. By contrast, the proton models are very diverse, fluxes and energies spanning several orders of magnitude even for those models based on physical considerations; this results from the absence of applicable data. However, even in the midrange of these models, the proton energies and fluxes would be severely hazardous to several spacecraft subsystems. It is therefore desirable to apply further technical consideration to the modeling of Jupiter's energetic proton population.
