太陽系研究發表了有關太陽系天體的文章，即行星及其衛星、小行星、彗星、流星物質和宇宙塵埃。文章討論了這些天體的物理、動力學和組成，以及它們的探索技術。該雜志討論了比較天文學、行星大氣和內部物理、宇宙化學以及行星等離子體環境和日光層的問題，特別是與太陽-行星相互作用有關的問題。根據天文觀測結果、隕石實驗室研究、相關理論方法和數學模型，重點研究了系外行星和包括太陽系在內的行星系統起源和演化的復雜問題。除了實驗和理論研究的原始結果外，該雜志還發表了行星探索領域的科學評論，以及關于觀測結果的注釋。

Solar System Research publishes articles concerning the bodies of the Solar System, i.e., planets and their satellites, asteroids, comets, meteoric substances, and cosmic dust. The articles consider physics, dynamics and composition of these bodies, and techniques of their exploration. The journal addresses the problems of comparative planetology, physics of the planetary atmospheres and interiors, cosmochemistry, as well as planetary plasma environment and heliosphere, specifically those related to solar-planetary interactions. Attention is paid to studies of exoplanets and complex problems of the origin and evolution of planetary systems including the solar system, based on the results of astronomical observations, laboratory studies of meteorites, relevant theoretical approaches and mathematical modeling. Alongside with the original results of experimental and theoretical studies, the journal publishes scientific reviews in the field of planetary exploration, and notes on observational results.
