Abstract

Since the first artificial Earth satellites were launched, two new fields have attracted much attention in present-day plasma physics. Both are related to artificial orbiting bodies, i.e. space probes, whose motion carries them through the near-Earth and interplanetary plasma. One of these fields concerns the interaction of moving bodies with natural plasma; the other is associated with the excitation of oscillations and waves in such plasma, particularly as a result of interactions with incident particle fluxes.
