Data Set Abstract Thermal ions can be measured with the filament off and the ion repeller set at 0 V. Species observed include He+, N+, O+, CO+ and/or N2+, NO+, O2+ and CO2+. H+ is not measurable with the current instrument configuration. One component of the ion drift in the ecliptic plane can also be determined. Thermal ion measurements have been taken sporadically at the end of neutral density passes and on alternate orbits when superthermal ions are not being measured.
