Space weather is the rubric applied to phenomena that effect the near-Earth space environment and, more importantly, to the response of that environment to external inputs. Space weather at Earth is important in terms of the root cause of some satellite anomalies, effects on radio communications, and changes in atmospheric drag experienced by satellites. Many of these effects are observed at other planets and can rightly be included in any discusion of space weather. As we consider the next steps in the exploration of other planets we need to be aware that space weather will shape how and when we can safely go to other planets and determine to some degree the scope and implementation of the design of missions to these planets. Mars is, after the Moon, the next target for human exploration. The atmosphere of Mars and its interaction with the changing solar system environment is the main subject of this oveview paper. The Mars atmosphere and ionosphere are fascinating - and they represent a true test of the predictive capabilities of our first principles models. There will be brief excursions into the the issues that need to addressed for a Venus mission as well as some consideration of the open questions at Europa and Titan - possible longer-term targets for robotic exploration.
