PWI is an innovative package, collecting data of a type not sought by Mariner-10 or MESSENGER. It will measure electric fields, plasma waves and radio waves, to provide information about plasma transport and acceleration in Mercury’s magnetosphere. The wires visible in Fig. 3.10 are dipole antennas to measure the electric field, and will be the first wire antennas to be deployed in orbit about another planet.

PWI also includes boom-mounted magnetic field sensors to measure the strength of alternating magnetic fields (rather than the total field intensity recorded by MERMAG ). In total, PWI will measure intensity, waveforms and the frequency spectra of the electric field ranging from the direct current to 10 MHz alternating current, and of the magnetic field from 0.1 Hz to 640 kHz.
