Solar Wind Ion Analyzer (SWIA)

The Solar Wind Ion Analyzer (SWIA) is a part of the MAVEN Particles and Fields (P & F) Package and measures the solar wind and magnetosheath proton flow around Mars and constrains the nature of solar wind interactions with the upper atmosphere.

The SWIA instrument lead is Jasper Halekas (University of Iowa).
