Data Set Abstract Abstract ======== This data set consists of the MESSENGER Energetic Particle and Plasma Spectrometer (EPPS) calibrated observations, also known as DDRs. The system encompasses 2 instrument subsystems - the Energetic Particle Spectrometer (EPS) and the Fast Imaging Plasma Spectrometer (FIPS). This data set contains FIPS instrument data. FIPS covers the energy/charge range of < 46 eV/q to 13 keV/q. There are five FIPS DDR data products.
