Solid particles in the solar system are here defined as particles greater than molecules and smaller than planets; they move about the sun in free orbits and are not physically attached to planets. Comets, asteroids, and natural satellites might well be included in the subject matter but will be mentioned only as they are related to smaller particles in the solar system.
Detailed knowledge of the physical structure, composition and orbital distribution of particles in the solar system is of particular current interest because the particles constitute a potential hazard to satellites, space probes, and space vehicles. Both the designers of space equipment and the operational planners require precise knowledge to protect equipment and operations against the effects of meteoritic impact.
