    Abstract
  • A concentric cylindrical electrostatic analyzer with deflection plates was used in the electron analyzer for Mars exploration. This sensor scheme met both the requirements of performance and miniaturization. The electron analyzer was calibrated at the Center for the Study of Radiation in Space (CESR) in France. The electrostatic analyzer factor, energy resolution, deflection factor of deflection plates, resolution of azimuth angle and resolution of elevation angle for both channels was calibrated. Results of calibration were given and further analysis was carried out. It is shown that energy range, energy resolution, field of view and resolution of azimuth angle are better than the performance requirements. The results lay the foundation for data processing and data analysis, setting the operating parameters of electron analyzer in orbit.
