MARS EXPRESS ASPERA-3: Calibrated Electron Spectrometer Data for 2010-2012

Calibrated Mars Express ASPERA-3 Electron Spectrometer data for the third mission extension from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2012. The data are provided in units of Differential Number Flux (cnts/(cm**2-sr-sec-eV)) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The dataset was last updated on the platform in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing electron flux variations in the Martian environment based on calibrated Differential Number Flux data.
• Modeling the interaction between the solar wind and the Martian atmosphere based on electron spectrometer measurements.
• Studying temporal changes in the Martian magnetosphere during the 2010-2012 mission extension period.

Strengths

• Data is calibrated, which suggests a processed, analysis-ready state.
• Covers a defined three-year time range from 2010 to 2012.
• Provided by the authoritative source National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
