Scientific paper

SARA produced the first image of a mini-magnetosphere above a lunar magnetic anomaly using energetic neutral atoms. It was shown that this magnetosphere is able to reduce the impinging solar wind flux onto the surface by more than 50%. Having analyzed all available observations by SARA, we report on the shielding efficiency of these anomalies by presenting correlations between solar wind flux, local magnetic field strength and reduction in reflected flux.
