This book presents a brief review of the main re sults obtained in
two new branches of plasma physics that have developed rapidly in
the last decade following the launching of artificial satellites.
The aim has been to illuminate results that have a certain
completeness and permanent nature and will retain their
significance and be used in further investigations. A further aim
has been, as far as possible, to acquaint the reader with the most
recent achievements in these interesting branches of modern
science. The first chapter of the book contains some data,
theoretical results, and formulas that will be used to consider
different types of wave phenomena that occur in the ionosphere,
magnetosphere, and the solar wind. The second chapter contains
experimental and theoretical re sults obtained from the study of
the flow of plasmas around bodies. Here, theory predominates over
experiment, which reflects the state of development of these inves
tigations. The results of the second chapter will un doubtedly
retain their significance in the future. The writing of the third
chapter presented the most difficult problem. The literature is
being continuously augmented with the results of investigations of
wave processes that occur in the plasma that is nearest to the
Earth -- re gions of the ionosphere at an altitude of 200-300 km
and more -- out to distances from the Earth of millions of
kilometers -- in the solar wind. We shall refer to all this region
of plasma as the near-Earth plasma."
