Abstract
The transport characteristics of macroparticles, charged by the solar radia tion under microgravity conditions, were investigated by analyzing the vide orecords of experiments carried out onboard the Mir orbital station. The te mperature, distributions of velocities, charge, friction coefficient, and d iffusion coefficient were obtained for bronze particles.
