Scientific paper

This paper analyzes the main physical characteristics of the processes occurring when solar-wind ions interact with the surfaces of asteroids or minor planetary satellites, and discusses characteristics of the fluxes of secondary and backscattered ions and sputtering atoms, as well as of the underlying surface. These methods may be applied to measure remotely physical and chemical characteristics of the surfaces of space objects without an atmosphere. Specific recommendations on how to implement these methods are given.
