Negative ion mass spectrum from observations by the Negative Ion at the Lunar Surface (NILS) instrument onboard of the Chang'E-6 lunar lander.
Mass resolved energy-time spectrogram of negatively charged particles recorded on the lunar surface by the Negative Ions at the Lunar Surface (NILS) instrument on Chang'E-6. The data set contains raw detected counts summed over all surface pointing viewing directions.
