INTRODUCTION With the publication of this first supplement, NASA SP-7017(01), to the original issue of the Continuing Bibliography on “Planetary Atmospheres” (NASA SP-70 17), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration continues its program of distributing selected references to reports and articles on aerospace topics that are currently under intensive study. The references are assembled in this form to provide a convenient source of information for use by scientists and engineers who need this kind of specialized compil- ation. Continuing Bibliographies are updated periodically by supplements which can be appended to the original issue. With respect to particular subjects, the majority of entries in this publication pertain to investigations of Mars and Venus, and a large percentage of these references were pro- duced as a result of the successful probes of the atmospheres of Venus (Mariner 11) and Mars (Mariner IV). In addition, a limited number of references to the atmospheres of Jupiter, Mercury, and Saturn is also included. The scope of coverage was defined to permit inclusion of references to such specific topics as the theory of planetary origins, extra- terrestrial environment, planetary exploration and spacecraft reentry, and the physical properties of the planets. Pertinent references to the techniques of planetary observation and measurement, e.g., those involving photography, photometry, spectroscopy, astronomy, and meteorology, are also to be found in this bibliography. All references included in SP-7017(01) have been announced in either Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR). International Aerospace Abstracts (IAA ) or the NASA Continuing Bibliography Aerospace Medicine and Biology (NASA SP-7011 and its supplements), and were introduced into the NASA information system during the period February, 1965-May7 1966. Each entry in the bibliography consists of a citation and an abstract. The listing of entries is arranged in three major groups. Report literature references are contained in the first group and are subdivided according to their date of announcement in STAR. The second group includes journal and book references that have been announced in IAA. A third group is comprised of entries that were originally prepared by the Aerospace Medicine and Biology Bibliography Section of the Library of Congress (LC) for inclusion in Aero- space Medicine and Biology. A subject index and a personal author index are included. ... 111 c AVAILABILITY OF DOCUMENTS STAR Entries NASA documents listed are available without charge to: 1. NASA Offices, Centers, contractors, subcontractors, grantees, and consultants. 2. Other U.S. Government agencies and their contractors. 3. Libraries in the United States that maintain collections of NASA documents for public reference. 4. Other organizations in the United States having a need for NASA documents in work related to the aerospace program. 5. Foreign government or academic (university)organizations that have established reciprocal arrangements for the exchange of publications with NASA, that have current agreements for scientific and technical cooperative activities with NASA, or that have agreements with NASA to maintain collections of NASA docu- ments for public use.

Uncertainties in the atmosphere composition and scale height are shown to preclude accurate prediction of the 1965 heating rates for an -unmanned probe entry. However. as expected, requirements for soft tandings are the most restric- STAR ENTRlES tive. Already difficult to satisfy because of low surface pres- sure. these requirements become extremely limiting because of the uncertainty in atmosphere structure.
