PDS: The Planetary Atmospheres Node
The Supra-Thermal And Thermal Ion Composition (STATIC) instrument utilizes a toroidal electrostatic analyzer with time of flight section mass range 1-70 AMU, ΔM/M > 4 and an energy range ~1 eV to 30 keΔ, ΔE/E~15% with a field of view 360° X 90°.
Measurement Objectives
STATIC measures the velocity distributions and mass composition of suprathermal and thermal ions. It obtains density profiles of H+, He++, He+, O+, O2+ and CO2+. Measurements include the composition of thermal to energetic ions, energy distributions and pitch angle variations, including Ionospheric Ions (0.1 - 10 eV), Tail superthermal ions (5-100eV), Pick-up Ions (100-20,000 eV) and Key ions (H+, O+, O2+ and CO2+).
