CASSINI RSS SROC19: Saturn Ring and Atmosphere Occultation Raw Data, April-June 2013

The Cassini Radio Science Saturn Ring and Atmospheric Occultation experiments (SROC19) Raw Data Archive is a time-ordered collection of radio science raw data acquired during the Cassini Extended Extended Mission. The data was collected by NASA on April 12, May 10, 20, 31, and June 24, 2013. The dataset was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing Saturn's atmospheric structure based on radio signal occultation data.
• Studying the density and composition of Saturn's rings from signal attenuation patterns.
• Modeling radio wave propagation through planetary ring systems using time-series raw data.
• Calibrating radio science instruments by comparing raw signal data against known events.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative NASA Cassini mission.
• Specific acquisition dates (April 12, May 10, 20, 31, and June 24, 2013) are explicitly documented.
• Data is described as a time-ordered collection, suggesting a structured temporal sequence.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The license is listed as 'other-license-specified', requiring careful review before use.
