Description
The Cassini Radio Science Saturn Ring and Atmospheric Occultation experiments (SROC20) Raw Data Archive is a time-ordered collection of radio science raw data acquired on July 6, August 8, and September 1, 2013, during the Cassini Extended Extended Mission. The data was collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and last updated in March 2026.
Use Cases
Analyzing Saturn's atmospheric structure based on radio occultation signal data.
Studying the density and composition of Saturn's rings based on signal attenuation.
Calibrating radio science instruments and models using raw spacecraft telemetry.
Investigating temporal changes in ring features across three observation dates in 2013.
