Abstract:Jupiter’s moons are constantly bombarded by ions produced by the giant planet’s plasma magnetosphere. The influence is considered as one of the main sources of the moons’ atmosphere and surface modification. This investigation is an attempt to explore the interaction of space ions with Ganymede’s magnetosphere. Computer simulations
are performed using electromagnetic fields that are close to experimentally observed fields in previous Jupiter space missions.
