Scientific paper

The problem of predicting current collection by probes in space magnetoplasmas is addressed. Collisionless steady state theories are considered for the case of a spherical probe in a collisionless plasma containing a uniform magnetic field. The combined effects of space charge and collisions in space magnetoplasmas are examined, as are the effects of plasma turbulence. Particle trapping and the 'toroidal glow' region, the breakdown of magnetic insulation, and phenomena around large orbiting objects at high voltages are also discussed.
