Dear all
This is a great platform for us to study how to deal with scientfic data measured by spacecrafts. however, I am not sure if there is any matlab code for other planteary spacecraft mission, such as maven, Venus express and mars express? I am very grateful to you if you can provide these!

thank you !

Dear @zhang-chi-IGGCAS,
thank you for your comment!

As for your question about other missions, currently irfu-matlab is mostly written for missions which we at IRF Uppsala have an active part in (such as Cluster, MMS, SolO). As for other missions we are open to suggestions or merge requests if someone wants to take up the lead on that work (which I suspect would mostly be dealing with file and catalogue structure i.e. locating latest files for each instrument, and perhaps some variables in some instruments cdf file would need special treatment...). At the present moment I am not sure we (at IRF Uppsala) have the time to invest in adding code for reading more mission data sets, so I'm leaving this issue open here with the label "enhancement"...

As for reading the data of other missions some functions are already able to do the work, however they do not automatically locate the latest files, code such as:
dataObj = dataobj(some_cdf_file.cdf);" and
someTS_data = get_ts(dataObj, 'some_variable_in_the_cdf_file');
which then can be plotted or used for computation just as our usual data (from Cluster, MMS, SolO, etc.).
