Mars Express ASPERA-3 IMA Ion Flux Data, 2005-2007

Mars Express ASPERA-3 Ion Mass Analyzer (IMA) data covers the first mission extension from December 1, 2005 to October 31, 2007. The data are provided in units of Differential Number Flux (m-2 s-1 sr-1 eV-1) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyzing ion flux variations over time based on the time-series data
• Studying Mars's atmospheric plasma environment based on ion mass analyzer measurements
• Correlating ion activity with other Martian phenomena based on the mission extension period

Strengths

• Data covers a defined time range from December 1, 2005 to October 31, 2007
• Data is provided in a specific scientific unit: Differential Number Flux (m-2 s-1 sr-1 eV-1)
• Data originates from a specific instrument: the ASPERA-3 Ion Mass Analyzer (IMA) on Mars Express

Limitations

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