Electrostatic phenomena, ubiquitous on Earth, also occur on many planetary bodies of the solar system. This book describes what is known about the electrostatic environment on and near the different planetary surfaces in the solar system based on experiments on Earth, as well as what is being learned from instrumentation on space exploration missions of the last few decades.
The book presents brief reviews of the basic principles in electrostatics as well as of the fundamentals of space radiation. It then describes the different planetary environments where electrostatic phenomena take place: atmospheres and planetary surfaces. The second edition includes two new chapters on Space Radiation Fundamentals and The Electrostatic Environment of Jupiter. Other updates include updated models of the lunar electrical environment, recent measurements from NASA's Curiosity rovers, recent discoveries of the properties of the Venusian atmosphere and new data on Mercury.
The key audience for this research and reference text includes researchers and students in the physical sciences.
Key Features:
Carlos I. Calle is the founder of the Electrostatics and Surface Physics Laboratory at NASA Kennedy Space Center. He is the recipient of numerous NASA awards, including the NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal in 2010, the Silver Snoopy Award in 2007 for outstanding support of the Space Shuttle Program, and the Spaceflight Awareness Award in 2003 for exceptional contributions to the space program. With his laboratory staff, he developed technologies for NASA's lunar and Martian exploration programs. He also developed new testing techniques for several Space Shuttle systems and for the thermal shrouds on the International Space Station modules.
Karen L. Aplin is a British atmospheric and space physicist. She is currently Professor of Space Science and Technology at the University of Bristol. Aplin has made significant contributions to interdisciplinary aspects of space and terrestrial science, in particular the importance of electrical effects on planetary atmospheres. She was awarded the 2021 James Dungey Lectureship of the Royal Astronomical Society.
