The MAVEN spacecraft launched in November 2013, arrived at Mars in September 2014,
and completed commissioning and began its one-Earth-year primary science mission in …

The MAVEN magnetic field investigation is part of a comprehensive particles and fields
subsystem that will measure the magnetic and electric fields and plasma environment of …

Abstract The MAVEN Solar Wind Electron Analyzer (SWEA) is a symmetric hemispheric
electrostatic analyzer with deflectors that is designed to measure the energy and angular …

Abstract The MAVEN SupraThermal And Thermal Ion Compostion (STATIC) instrument is
designed to measure the ion composition and distribution function of the cold Martian …

Abstract The Solar Wind Ion Analyzer (SWIA) on the MAVEN mission will measure the solar
wind ion flows around Mars, both in the upstream solar wind and in the magneto-sheath and …

We describe the sensors, the sensor biasing and control, the signal-processing unit, and the
operation of the Langmuir Probe and Waves (LPW) instrument on the Mars Atmosphere and …

Abstract The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission has obtained comprehensive
particle and magnetic field measurements. The Solar Wind Electron Analyzer provides …

Mars and Venus do not have a global magnetic field and as a result solar wind interacts
directly with their ionospheres and upper atmospheres. Neutral atoms ionized by solar UV …

We have analyzed electron angular distributions recorded near Mars over a period of 7
years in order to constrain the topology of magnetic field lines near Mars. We used 63 million …

Planetary auroras reveal the complex interplay between an atmosphere and the
surrounding plasma environment. We report the discovery of low-altitude, diffuse auroras …
