Brief Description
Space missions to explore plasma environment near Mars and Titan are in progress now. Mars-Express, Nozomi, Cassini will bring us a new interesting information about the solar wind interaction with atmospheres/ionospheres near these objects. Reports on first results obtained from these missions are invited. The session will focus on topics related with magnetospheric physics at nonmagnetized planets, satellites, comets and small celestial bodies.
