Description: 

ENSEM investigates potential use of energetic neutral atoms (ENA) for space weather monitoring. ENAs are produced everywhere in the solar system due to the interaction between space plasma and ambient particles (neutrals and other plasma populations). Due to the neutrality, ENAs fly straight, keeping the information of the source plasma. Thus, ENAs are expected to visualize the plasma in a remote sensing manner.
