A Mission Enabling Compact Ion Mass Spectrometer for Ionospheric Outflow and Cold Magnetospheric Ion Observations

Abstract: The Compact Ion Mass Spectrometer (CIMS) is a highly compact ion mass spectrometer capable of high-mass resolution for low-energy space plasma. CIMS is capable of measuring flux, energy, and mass of ions providing unique measurements of the ionospheric outflow and cold plasma in the magnetosphere. Measurements of the ionospheric outflow and cold-magnetospheric ion population will provide the necessary initial conditions of the ion populations that drive some magnetosphere-ionosphere (MI) coupling processes alo… Show more

“…ESRA is the next in a line of demonstration and validation missions to be flown by LANL to rapidly mature and evaluate next generation technologies. This imaging system is additionally being implemented on a compact and CubeSat-compatible ion mass spectrometer designed for terrestrial and planetary 2 ionospheric observations [17,18], and is scheduled for a mission on the International Space Station.…”
