Solar-Wind Bombardment of a Surface in SpaceThe solar wind is described and its effects on surfaces are reviewed. Experimental results are given for materials subjected to simulated solar-wind bombardment. Among the effects discussed are sputtering-type erosion, chemical reaction with paint vehicles and reduction of oxide pigments, and production of lunar-surface optical characteristics in a basalt powder.
