MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2015

Mars Express Radio Science data collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration during the extended mission phase from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31. The specific occultation measurements cover the period from 2015-02-06T23:26:07 to 2015-02-08T21:49:50.500. The dataset is available in BIN, PDF, TEXT, and HTML file formats.

Use Cases

• Modeling Martian atmospheric density and pressure based on radio signal occultation data.
• Analyzing temporal atmospheric changes on Mars based on the 2015 measurement period.
• Calibrating radio science instruments for planetary missions based on the described measurement type.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a primary space agency.
• Covers a defined two-year extended mission phase from 2015 to 2016.
• Includes a specific, high-precision measurement window with timestamps down to the millisecond.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
