Electrostatic levitation can use on hovering moon and asteroid probes.

MIT engineers are testing magnetic hovering probes that can operate at a minimum gravitational field and hover above the surface. There is the possibility that a similar system can use also on Earth. But that system requires far more power for levitating.
And in this time magnetic levitation is possible only above the objects with the minimum gravitational field. But theoretically, this kind of system could operate also above the Earth's surface. The magnetic levitation could be useful as an example at an asteroid belt because that system saves fuel.
The new levitating moon rover can operate in a low-gravitational environment where is a low gravitation field. The system is possible to create by benefiting the natural electric field of the asteroid and moon.
Another way is simply to transmit electricity to the object and then that synthetic electromagnetic field can rise hovering rover above that area. The low gravitation field of the dwarf planets or asteroids can allow research in those areas by using hovering probes that cannot fall in the pits of the dwarf planets.

The hovering probes can also operate above the icy moons of Jupiter. In that kind of case, the satellite of a nuclear-powered space probe can send the magnetic ray below the hovering rover. If the magnetic fields have the same polarity that makes objects hover above them. In that case, the rover has the same polarity of the magnetic field that the probe is transmitted below it.
In some scenarios, the magnetic hover of the probe can use the quantum state of the water for the levitation. The idea is that the water molecules can turn in the same direction in the powerful magnetic field. When the radio wave is sent to that water those water molecules can aim the radio waves to the saucer-shaped craft.
Or the magnet can pull those water molecules below the craft to the pillar that makes the craft hover at a certain position. There is the possibility that satellites are creating an ion or magnetic field below the craft. Those ions can use also for pushing craft above. The ion engines might get more power.
If those systems send the ions to the ion field that is pushing them back. Those ions are creating the magnetic cushion below the craft. That system can push craft to levitate. Those ions can also increase the power of the magnetic levitation ("maglev") system. That means the maglev systems can use multiple systems for creating the effect which makes those crafts hover above ground or water silently.
