Mars Express ASPERA-3 IMA: Ion Flux Data for 2019-2021

Mars Express ASPERA-3 Ion Mass Analyzer data covers January 1, 2019 to January 1, 2021. The data are provided in units of Differential Number Flux, m-2 s-1 sr-1 eV-1. This dataset was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Modeling Mars atmospheric ion loss based on differential number flux measurements.
• Analyzing temporal variations in Martian ionospheric conditions based on the two-year time range.
• Correlating ion flux data with other Mars Express instrument readings based on the ASPERA-3 platform.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific two-year mission extension period from January 2019 to January 2021.
• Flux measurements are provided in standardized physical units (m-2 s-1 sr-1 eV-1).

Limitations

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