Mars Express ASPERA-3 IMA Ion Data for Mission Extension 7

January 1, 2019 to January 1, 2021 is the temporal coverage for this data set. It contains ion mass analyzer data from the ASPERA-3 instrument on the Mars Express spacecraft. The data was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyze ion composition in the Martian atmosphere based on Ion Mass Analyzer data
• Study temporal variations in Martian atmospheric particles based on the two-year mission extension period
• Model plasma interactions around Mars based on satellite instrument measurements

Strengths

• Data covers a specific two-year mission extension period from January 2019 to January 2021
• Data originates from a specific instrument, the ASPERA-3 Ion Mass Analyzer, on the Mars Express spacecraft

Limitations

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