The IMAP-Lo instrument on the IMAP mission measures energetic neutral atoms and interstellar neutral atoms over low-energies (5 eV to 1 keV). IMAP-Lo is mounted on a pivot platform for articulating the instrument and thereby tracking the interstellar flow. IMAP-Lo measurements substantially reduce the interstellar flow parameter uncertainties, and eliminates major uncertainties due to the limited sampling from previous instruments. The instrument also delivers accurate abundance ratios for Neon versus Oxygen and Deuterium versus Hydrogen, which are critical for understanding interstellar and galactic volatiles and big bang cosmology. IMAP-Lo opens an enormous array of new scientific opportunities that contribute to IMAP’s quantum leap in understanding the composition and properties of the local interstellar medium, the evolution of the heliospheric boundaries, and the physics of interstellar-heliospheric interactions. We provide an update on the IMAP-Lo instrument, and include any “first-light” results based on early instrument operations after IMAP launch.
