      <ReleaseDate>2019-05-05T12:34:56Z</ReleaseDate>
      <Description>The Neutral Particle Imager (NPI) of the ASPERA-3 package
flown on Mars Express provides measurements of the integral ENA flux with no
mass and energy resolution but with 5 deg x 11 deg angular resolution. The
intrinsic field of view is 9 deg x 344 deg. The sensor utilizes a graphite surface
to suppress the UV background. ENAs incident on the surface at a grazing angle of
20 deg are reflected and/or cause ion sputtering. An MCP stack detects the reflected
particles and sputtered fragments with a discrete anode.</Description>
