The Mercury Atmospheric and Surface Composition Spectrometer for the MESSENGER Mission (2007, methodology): “Correlating UVVS data with Energetic Particle and Plasma Spectrometer (EPPS) (Andrews et al. 2007) and Magnetometer (Anderson et al. 2007) data will provide an additional tool for understanding exospheric processes.”
The Magnetic Field of Mercury (2010, unknown): “…addition to the Magnetometer, MESSENGER carries a plasma sensor, the Fast Imaging Plasma Spectrometer (FIPS), which measures ions in situ over the energy range from tens of eV to 13.5 keV as part of the Energetic Particle and Plasma Spectrometer (EPPS) instrument (Andrews et al. 2007).”
Integrated Science Investigation of the Sun (ISIS): Design of the Energetic Particle Investigation (2016, methodology): “We have used these techniques successfully many times on past missions (most recently, and with very similar software, on PEPSSI, RBSPICE, and JEDI).”
MESSENGER Mission Overview (2007, methodology): “EPPS will sample the plasma and energetic particle population in the solar wind, at major magnetospheric boundaries, and throughout the environment of Mercury at a range of solar distances and levels of solar activity (Andrews et al. 2007).”
