Mars Express ASPERA-3 IMA Raw Ion Counts, 2010-2012

Mars Express satellite data from the ASPERA-3 Ion Mass Analyzer instrument for the third mission extension. The data set contains raw ion counts per accumulation from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2012. It was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyze ion density variations based on raw ion count data
• Study Mars's atmospheric escape processes based on ion mass spectrometry
• Validate instrument calibration models based on raw unit measurements

Strengths

• Data covers a specific three-year mission extension period (2010-2012)
• Provided by the authoritative space agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Limitations

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