Scientific paper

Space-probe observations of planetary magnetospheres are discussed. Three different categories of planetary magnetospheres are identified (intrinsic slowly rotating, intrinsic rapidly rotating, and induced), and the characteristics of each type are outlined. The structure and physical processes of the magnetospheres of Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter are described, and possible configurations are presented for the Martian and Jovian ones. Expected magnetic moments are derived for Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Models are constructed for possible induced magnetospheres of the moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Io.
