Later, those single
atoms filtered upward
to higher layers of the atmosphere and then
escaped into
space.
Another major
space weather event resulted in an increase in background radiation that made it difficult for the Analyser of Space Plasmas and Energetic Atoms 3 (ASPERA - 3) instrument on - board Mars Express (MEX) to evaluate ion escape fluxes at Mars (Futaana et al. 2

The spacecraft has 8 instruments designed
to characterize the upper atmosphere of the planet and the processes controlling the atmosphere, including how
atoms and molecules can
escape the gravitational attraction of the planet and
escape to space.
An atmosphere that is perfectly transparent
to incoming and outgoing radiation can not radiate and all its heat content comes from conduction from the surface and is transported through the atmosphere solely by convection with no loss of energy
to space except for the tiny fraction of
atoms at the top of the atmosphere that exceed
escape velocity.
The region where
atoms and molecules
escape into
space is referred
to as the exosphere.
