Abstracts: Martian ionosphere ranges 85 to 300 kms. Above 200 kms the atmosphere is not uniform. Due to the solar wind interaction in the upper part of the atmosphere the temperatures are high. Due to heating of the gases the ions are produced. These ion densities are decreased exponentially with increase in altitude. In this project we have calculated the ion densities of different ions above 200 km and up to 350 km by computer program. The ion densities can be measured in High and Low solar activity by this program. Martian Ionosphere consists of mainly these ten ion : O+,O2 +,CO+,NO+,N+,N2 +,H+,He+,CO2 +,C+ . This program can measure ion densities of all these ions. To find the value of ion density at various altitudes equation is implemented in computer programming language at given altitude. Output generated using program is compared with the real values presented in the Icarus 221(2012) 1002-1019 by J.L.Fox & Andrew J.Weber as well as Advance Space Research vol.17,No.11 203-218(1996) by J.L.Fox et all.
