Publisher's Synopsis
This volume commences with a tribute to one of the great pioneers of the space age, Konstantin Gringauz. The following 31 papers presented include a comparison on how the solar wind interacts with different solar system obstacles. Giotto's results from comet Grigg-Skjellerup are compared with data from comet Halley, and research on Galileo's flybys of asteroids Gaspra and Ida included. Some tantalising Phobos results are contained in the Venus and Mars section. Upstream regions are contrasted at the different planets and finally, the terrestrial and Jovian magnetospheres are compared, including Ulysses results from Jupiter and Galileo results from Earth's distant bow shock.
