The
European Space Agency
Mars Express: ASPERA
The ASPERA Energetic
Neutral Atoms Analyser studies how the solar wind
interacts with the Martian atmosphere to throw light on
the mechanisms by which water vapor and other gases
could have escaped from Mars in the past. The instrument
uses a technique known as energetic neutral atom imaging
to visualize the charged and neutral gas environments
around Mars. The ASPERA Principal Investigator is
Mats Holmström, Swedish
Institute of Space Physics (IRF),
matsh@irf.se.
The primary source for ASPERA data is the
ESA Planetary Science Archive.
Through a cooperative agreement between ESA and NASA,
the PDS Geosciences Node and the PDS PPI Node are
hosting copies of the ASPERA data archive.
