Scientific paper

Japan's spacecraft PLANET-B will be sent to the Mars in 1996. We are proposing the Martian ionosphere and the magnetosphere imaging using the extreme ultra violet (EUV) light on this mission. Our main target is the 84.3 nm light scattered by the oxygen ions. Interesting topics related to the imaging are; (1) the density profile of the oxygen ions in the Martian ionosphere, (2) oxygen ions which are reported to outflow from the nightside ionosphere to the Martian tail with about 1 keV energy, and (3) pick-up ions created at the dayside of the Mars. Also proposed is the measurement of the EUV light scattered by Helium ions in the interplanetary space during the cruise phase from the Earth to the Mars.
