DESCRIPTION:The lecture series comprises 5 lectures starting with the inte
 rplanetary medium\, the solar wind and its interaction with magnetized pla
 nets. Knowledge on the magnetically dominated ‘spheres’ around the Gia
 nt Planets have been obtained by the Grand Tour of both Voyager spacecraft
  to Jupiter\, Saturn\, with the continuation of Voyager 2 to Uranus\, and 
 Neptune\, in the late seventies and eighties of last century. These findin
 gs are now extensively supported and complemented by Cassini/Huygens to th
 e Saturnian system. This will be discussed in detail in lecture 2. Specifi
 c aspects of magnetospheric physics\, in particular radio emissions from t
 he planets\, observed in-situ and by remote sensing techniques\, will be a
 ddressed in the following lecture 3. Of high importance are also the recen
 t scientific results on planetary satellites\, specifically those comprisi
 ng active phenomena like volcanoes and geysirs\, (as on Io\, Enceladus\, a
 nd Triton)\, with the explanation of some ring phenomena\, to be addressed
  in lecture 4. Finally\, lecture 5 gives some information on the so-called
  terrestrial planets with the most recent missions Mars Express\, Venus Ex
 press\, and in preparation BepiColombo\, to Mercury. These topics will inc
 lude some aspects of antenna system calibration as performed for Mars Expr
 ess and for the NASA/Stereo mission\, to be launched in September 2006\, f
 or the observation of solar phenomena.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conference
