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.
