TL;DR: The Cluster Ion Spectrometry (CIS) experiment as discussed by the authors measured the full, three-dimensional ion distribution of the major magnetospheric ions (H+, He+, He++, and O+) from the thermal energies to about 40 keV/e.
Journal ArticleDOI
The THEMIS ESA Plasma Instrument and In-flight Calibration
James P. McFadden,C. W. Carlson,Davin Larson,M. Ludlam,R. Abiad,B. Elliott,Paul Turin,M. Marckwordt,Vassilis Angelopoulos +8 more
TL;DR: The THEMIS instrument as discussed by the authors is designed to measure the ion and electron distribution functions over the energy range from a few eV up to 30 keV for electrons and 25 kV for ions, and it consists of a pair of electrostatic analyzers with common 180°×6° fields-of-view that sweep out 4π steradians each 3 s spin period.

TL;DR: Vector magnetic field observations of the martian crust were acquired by the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) magnetic field experiment/electron reflectometer (MAG/ER) during the aerobraking and science phasing orbits, at altitudes between approximately 100 and 200 kilometers.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The magnetometer and electron reflectometer investigation on the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft has obtained magnetic field and plasma observations throughout the near-Mars environment, but here the discovery of multiple magnetic anomalies of small spatial scale in the crust of Mars is reported.
