All raw (EDR) data (cruise, prime mission, etc.) from the MARIE
instrument onboard the Mars Odyssey spacecraft are contained in
this data set. Data have been edited and are formatted as simple
binary tables but are otherwise unprocessed.

Data Set Abstract |
The MARIE (Martian Radiation Environment Experiment), aboard the 2001
Mars Odyssey spacecraft, was launched on April 7, 2001, and arrived at
Mars on October 24, 2001. Data were collected intermittently during
the cruise phase, starting in late April and ending in late July. A
problem with MARIE's onboard computer occurred in early August,
and the instrument was turned off until early March 2002, after Odyssey
's mapping orbit had been established. Data have been collected
from that time to the present without major interruption. Routine
minor interruptions of up to 48 hours have occurred during the orbital
phase when the instrument's data is erased from local storage
(after having been downloaded). MARIE is oriented to point in the
direction opposite Odyssey's velocity vector. Space radiation is
for the most part isotropic, so the orientation of Odyssey is usually
not critical and references to external coordinate systems are not a
part of the data returned by MARIE. There is one exception to the
statement that space radiation is isotropic: During the early stages of
solar particle events, there can be directionality in the particle
flux. |
