... The Space Science Board formed a panel chaired by Stirling Colgate, composed for the most part of physicists expert in plasma physics but not especially knowledgeable about the space aspects of plasmas; the report of this panel constitutes the first part of Volume 1 of the report. The Committee on Space Physics of the Board was charged with the responsibility for soliciting technical review papers on a large number of topics in space plasma physics.

... Solar-system plasma processes considered those microscopic plasma problems that emerged from the study of the objects considered in solar-system magnetohydrodynamics and also considered the impacts of these processes on terrestrial science and technology. The solar-physics panel treated macroscopic and microscopic plasma processes occurring on the sun together and included many topics from what is conventionally called solar astronomy.
