Advanced 3D multi-fluid modeling is used to quantify the plasma environment around the Moon when it is inside the Earth's magnetosphere for quiet to storm conditions. The multi-fluid model incorporates ion cyclotron and multi-ion species effects similar to hybrid codes but the fluid treatment enables grid refinement down to as small as 100 km. This high resolution is unique to the multi-fluid modeling, enabling the model to resolve the lunar near space environment in the context of the global terrestrial magnetosphere. Difference in the spatial features of the electrons, light and heavy ions implies that the behaviour of heavy ions can not be inferred from electron measurements.
