Plasma Wave Analyzer

 

    The Plasma Wave Analyzer (PWA) is designed to examine the dynamics of the martian plasmasphere and ionosphere and details of plasma processes and their relation to the macroscopic plasma distribution. The PWA is composed of two instruments, the Plasma Wave and Sounder experiment (PWS) and the Low Frequency Wave Analyzer (LFA).
