Solar wind atmospheric erosion at Mars:
Planetary wind is the outflow of atmosphere and ionosphere (the layer above the atmosphere). ASPERA performs global imaging and in situ measurements of:
1.Inflowing solar wind
2.Outflowing planetary wind
using:
Energetic neutral atom cameras (results to be published) and plasma (ion and electron) spectrometers (image and text courtesy R Lundin)
