ABSTRACT

Since ancient times, human beings have never stopped exploring outer space. As one of the eight planets, Mars has naturally become one of our key research objects. This paper mainly studies the characteristics and influencing factors of the Martian space environment. By using MAVEN's observation data for many years, we found that the intensity of the induced magnetic field is enhanced under the condition of high solar wind pressure, and this phenomenon is explained by the analysis method based on MHD equation.
