MPF ROVER MARS ALPHA PROTON X-RAY SPECTROMETER EDR V1.0
The APXS EDRs are a collection of 27 measurements (173 data files)
obtained by the Alpha Proton X-ray Spectrometer (APXS). Of these,
nine are measurements of rock, seven are of soil (if Scooby Doo
is an indurated soil rather than a rock), and eleven are of atmosphere. The atmosphere was measured on Sol 1 to determine background cosmic
ray levels, on a few occasions for electronics noise tests, and
sometimes as a result of the APXS deployment mechanism not reaching
the intended rock surface.
