Description

The Solar Energetic Particle, SEP, Instrument will characterize the Relationship between Solar Energetic Particle Events and Martian Atmospheric Escape. The SEP measures the Energy and Angular Distribution of Energetic Protons and Electrons in the Energy Range absorbed by the Upper Atmosphere. The main Instrument comprises two orthogonal dual double-ended Solid State Telescopes with passive Ion-implanted Silicon Detectors, giving it four Look Directions.

The SEP can measure Proton Energies from 25 keV to 6 MeV and Electrons from 25 keV to 1 MeV. It can measure Particle Fluxes from 20/(cm² s sr) to 107/(cm² s sr). It has three Measurement Frequencies depending on Orbital Distance from the Surface: once every 2 s below 300 km, 8 s from 300 km to 800 km, and 32 s beyond 800 km.
