The diverse planetary environments in the solar system react in
somewhat different ways to the encompassing influence of the Sun.
These different interactions define the electrostatic phenomena
that take place on and near planetary surfaces. The desire to
understand the electrostatic environments of planetary surfaces
goes beyond scientific inquiry. These environments have enormous
implications for both human and robotic exploration of the solar
system. This book describes in some detail what is known about the
electrostatic environment of the solar system from early and
current experiments on Earth as well as what is being learned from
the instrumentation on the space exploration missions (NASA,
European Space Agency, and the Japanese Space Agency) of the last
few decades. It begins with a brief review of the basic principles
of electrostatics.
