The Wind SMS instrument suite is composed of three separate instruments.
* The SupraThermal Ion Composition Spectrometer (STICS) determines the mass, mass per charge, and energy for ions in the energy range of 6-230 keV/e.
* The high resolution mass spectrometer (MASS) determines elemental and isotopic abundances from 0.5 to 12 keV/e.
* Finally, the Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer (SWICS) determines mass, charge, and energy for ions in the energy range of 0.5 to 30 keV/e. The SWICS "stop" MCP experienced a failure resulting in reduced capabilities for this instrument.Version:2.1.0
