The solar wind interacts with all solar system bodies, inducing different types of dynamics depending on their atmospheric and magnetic environments. We here outline some key open scientific questions related to this interaction, with a focus on the Moon and Mars, that may be addressed by future Mars and Moon missions by the European Space Agency's Human and Robotic Exploration programme. We describe possible studies of plasma interactions with bodies with and without an atmosphere, using multi-point and remote measurements, and energetic particle observations, as well as recommend some actions to take.
太阳风与太阳系中的所有天体相互作用,根据它们的大气和磁环境引发不同类型的动力学现象。我们在此概述一些与这种相互作用相关的关键科学问题,重点关注月球和火星,欧洲航天局的人类与机器人探索计划未来的火星和月球任务可能会解决这些问题。我们描述了利用多点和遥感测量、高能粒子观测对有大气层和无大气层天体的等离子体相互作用进行可能的研究,并提出了一些建议行动。
