Objective The Martian plasma environment provides interesting information on the interaction between a weakly magnetised body and the supersonic flow of the solar wind plasma. The objective of this project is to study, experimentally and theoretically, the mechanisms of wave-particle interactions operating in the plasma environment of Mars and their influence on the morphology and dynamics of the planetary environments. The following regions and boundaries are of primary interest: the upstream region, the bow shock, the magnetotail boundary and plasma-sheet on the night side of Mars.The scientific activity of this project focuses on comparative studies of both plasma and wave data gathered by the Soviet PHOBOS spacecraft around Mars in 1989.
