Mars Express Radio Science Occultation Data from 2015

Mars Express Radio Science data collected by NASA during the extended mission phase from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31. The specific occultation measurement covers the period from 2015-03 28T14:51:00 to 2015-03-29T04:34:29.999.

Use Cases

• Modeling Martian atmospheric density profiles based on radio signal occultation data.
• Analyzing temporal atmospheric variations based on the specific 2015 measurement time range.
• Validating orbital and atmospheric models for Mars based on radio science measurements.

Strengths

• Data originates from the NASA Mars Express mission, a recognized planetary science source.
• Covers a defined extended mission period from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31.
• Provides a precise measurement window for a specific occultation event in March 2015.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
