Abstract
Voyager 2 plasma wave and plasma probe measurements from February 1981 suggest that phenomena associated with a well defined tail of Jupiter have been detected at a distance of about 6,200 RJ. This indicates that Saturn's magnetosphere will be affected by the jovian tail and that by comparing Voyager 1 and 2 observations information on the physics of Saturn's magnetosphere can be obtained.
