It is very well known fact that dust and dusty plasmas are ubiquitous in the space: from interstellar media, to cometary dust, planetary rings and so on. The phenomena concerning the dust in space, seems to have an immense number of facets. The help for the identification of some of the phenomena, or tracing the new ones, has coming during last few decades more and more from the physics of dusty plasmas. We present an overview on the development in the application of laboratory dusty plasmas seizing from the production of interstellar analogs, investigations connected with the field of the interplanetary dust and planet-formation, charging phenomena and their future possibilities of the dusty plasma applications in this field.
