The location of the induced magnetospheric boundary (IMB) determines the size of the region where planetary ions can be accelerated and where energetic neutral atoms can be produced. We use data of the Mars Express Aspera-3 instrument to determine the stand-off distance of the MPB dependent on the Mars crustal magnetic fields (determined from Mars Global Surveyor data) and solar zenith angle. One important result is the linear dependence of the IMB altitude on the crustal field strength at 400km altitude. We further investigate the penetration depth of ions which overcome the boundary. We discuss the importance of these observations for the escape of planetary ions and neutral atoms.
