The Mars Magnetosphere ATmosphere Ionosphere and Space-weather SciencE (M-MATISSE) mission is an ESA Medium class (M7) candidate currently in Phase-A study by ESA. M-MATISSE main scientific goal is to unravel the complex and dynamic couplings of the magnetosphere, ionosphere and thermosphere (MIT coupling) with relation to the Solar Wind (i.e. space weather) and the lower atmosphere of Mars. Among the set of instruments present onboard the platform, the Mars Ion and Neutral Energy Analyzer (M INEA) is an energy spectrograph and mass spectrometer specifically designed to image the low energy range of the neutral particles energy distribution (
