TL;DR: The magnetospheric imaging instrument (MIMI) is a neutral and charged particle detection system on the Cassini orbiter spacecraft designed to perform both global imaging and in-situ measurements to study the overall configuration and dynamics of Saturn's magnetosphere and its interactions with the solar wind, Saturn's atmosphere, Titan, and the icy satellites as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The Analyzer of Space Plasma and Energetic Atoms (ASPERA) on board the Mars Express spacecraft found that solar wind plasma and accelerated ionospheric ions may be observed all the way down to theMars Express pericenter of 270 kilometers above the dayside planetary surface, implying direct exposure of the martian topside atmosphere toSolar wind plasma forcing.

TL;DR: ENA imaging has revealed a radiation belt that resides inward of the D ring and is probably the result of double charge exchange between the main radiation belt and the upper layers of Saturn's exosphere.

High energy neutral atom (hena) imager for the IMAGE mission
D. G. Mitchell,S. E. Jaskulek,C. E. Schlemm,Edwin P. Keath,R. E. Thompson,B. Tossman,John D. Boldt,John Hayes,G. B. Andrews,Nikolaos P. Paschalidis,D. C. Hamilton,R. A. Lundgren,E. O. Tums,P. Wilson,H. D. Voss,D. Prentice,K. C. Hsieh,C. C. Curtis,F. R. Powell +18 more
TL;DR: The High Energy Neutral Atom (ENA) imager (HENA) as mentioned in this paper was designed to image the ENA emitting regions of the inner magnetosphere with 2 minute time resolution, at angular resolution of 8 degrees or better above the energy of ∼ 50 keV/nucleon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging the Interaction of the Heliosphere with the Interstellar Medium from Saturn with Cassini
Stamatios M. Krimigis,Stamatios M. Krimigis,D. G. Mitchell,Edmond C. Roelof,K. C. Hsieh,David J. McComas,David J. McComas +6 more
TL;DR: The shape of the heliosphere is not consistent with that of a comet aligned in the direction of the Sun's travel through the galaxy as was previously thought, and the model they have developed suggests that the interstellar magnetic field plays a stronger role than previously thought.
