The salient features of planetary magnetospheres in the solar system are described. The principal differences in plasma organization and ion composition of the magnetospheres of earth, Jupiter, Mars and Venus are examined. Voyager data concerning the emission of ions in the cold plasma torus of the Jovian moon, Io, are given in a table. The program of magnetospheric observations, to be carried out on board Voyager 2 during its encounter with Uranus is also described. The energy spectrum and composition of ions in the magnetosphere of Jupiter are presented in the form of tables. A color drawing showing the important features of the earth's magnetosphere (the plasma sheet, the bow shock, and the magnetosheath) is provided.
