Upper Ionosphere of Mars During Solar Quiet and Disturbed Conditions - Planetary Exploration and Science: Recent Results and Advances - page 128

Fig. 7.9 Schematic diagram
of the ionopause between
magnetised magnetosheath
and the ionosphere of Mars.
U sw and B sw represent the
velocity and magnetic field
directions of solar wind on
Mars, respectively. Magnetic
barrier, bow shock and
ionopause locations are also
shown orbit. Mangalyaan will
be launched in November
2013 and has elliptical orbit,
which can pass from
low-latitude region of Mars

2005. The major peaks at 21:50 UT and 02:52 confirms the arrival of CME at Mars on 15 and 16
May, respectively. Dashed blue line shows the magnetic field magnetosheath of Mars under quiet
condition (Reprinted from Haider et al. ( 2012 ) with permission from Elsevier)
