The
European Space Agency
Mars Express: SPICAM
|
November 4, 2025.
New derived IR and UV atmospheric profile data
from individual investigators have been added.
|
The
SPICAM UV and IR Atmospheric Spectrometer
measures the composition of the Martian
atmosphere over smaller volumes than the PFS
instrument. It measures ozone using a
technique similar to that used on the
Mariner 9 spacecraft which first discovered
ozone on Mars. SPICAM also uses the
technique of stellar occultation to measure
the vertical profiles of carbon dioxide,
temperature, ozone, aerosols and clouds.
The SPICAM Principal Investigator
is now Dr. Franck Montmessin, Laboratoire
Atmosph�res, Milieux, Observations
Spatiales, replacing Dr. Jean-Loup Bertaux.
The primary source for SPICAM data is the
ESA
Planetary Science Archive.
Through a cooperative agreement between ESA and NASA,
the PDS Geosciences Node will host a copy of the SPICAM
data archive on this web site when it becomes available.
Copies of SPICAM Data at the PDS Geosciences Node,
Washington University in St. Louis:
- SPICAM UV RDR DATA
- SPICAM UV EDR DATA
- SPICAM IR RDR DATA
- SPICAM IR EDR DATA
- Derived SPICAM Data Sets from Individual
Investigators
More information about SPICAM is on the
ESA web site.
November 4, 2025. New
derived IR and UV atmospheric profile data
from individual investigators have been
added.

added to the IR and UV EDR data sets,
extending the coverage through January 5,
2014.
July 25, 2014. New SPICAM UV
reduced data sets have been posted. These
are partially reduced data that have been
corrected for dark current and electronic
noise. They have also been edited to remove
erroneous data and data with cosmic ray
damage and saturation.
January 27, 2014. New data have
been posted for the IR and UV EDR data sets,
extending coverage through July 22, 2013.

posted for the IR and UV EDR data sets,
extending coverage through December 31,
2012.
December 13, 2012. The complete
SPICAM IR EDR and UV EDR data sets have been
revised. The previous versions will remain
available on request until June 20, 2013.
September 27, 2011. The complete
SPICAM UV EDR data set from Extended Mission
2 is now online.

available for the IR and UV EDR data sets.
Data coverage is now from the start of the
mission through 27 June 2010. The UV data
for Extended Mission 2 is still being
ingested by the ESA PSA team.
