Description |
FRENDThe Fine Resolution Epithermal Neutron Detector (FREND) is an instrument installed onboard the Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) of the joint Roscosmos-ESA ExoMars mission. Comprising a Neutron detector and a separate module, the Dosimeter, its main scientific goals are:
The calibrated_data collection
The calibrated data collection contains the calibrated science data from both FREND Neutron detector and the Dosimeter.
Physically the collection is organised by science phase and then orbit range in groups of 100 orbits. |

Mission Description |
ExoMars 2016 Mission OverviewExoMars 2016 was launched in March 2016 and consists of the Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) and Schiaparelli, an entry, descent and landing demonstrator module. The primary goal of the mission is to detect trace gasses in the Martian atmosphere in particular to follow up on earlier detections of Methane.Schiaparelli, the technology demonstration lander, did not reach the surface, therefore the only data archived was from the DREAMS instrument, which was obtained during the cruise phase of the mission. The Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) entered science operations at Mars in April 2018 and has been operating nominally since. It has 4 instruments, CaSSIS, a 4 colour push frame camera, FREND, an epithermal neutron detector, and ACS and NOMAD which are high resolution spectrometers covering the UV to thermal IR range optimised for atmospheric studies. All instruments continue in good health apart from the Thermal Infrared (TIRVIM) channel on ACS. TIRVIM stopped working on December 3rd, 2019 due to HW failure. Since then, it has been kept on to ensure thermal mode of the ACS but without producing science data. Housekeeping data is still being generated and archived as of today. Mission Phases
