The Medium Energy Neutral Atom (MENA) instrument flown on the NASA IMAGE spacecraft is a time-of-flight neutral particle imager designed to image energetic neutral atom emissions from the Earth’s inner magnetosphere over an energy per mass range of 1–60keV∕amu. Images are generated by combining data from three separate heads and have a nominal angular resolution of 4°×4°. Here, we present a first-principles calculation of the geometric factors for each of the start-byte/stop-byte combinations for each of the three heads in the IMAGE/MENA instrument based on a detailed understanding of the its physical construction. The geometric factors are used to compute combined integral flux images and it is demonstrated that they result in head-to-head matching of the data that are both continuous and physically reasonable. We also discuss several issues associated with energy binning as a means for constructing differential flux images and present a powerful and robust approach that solves several critical problems ...
