Mars Express Radio Science Occultation Data from 2015-2016

Mars Express Radio Science data collected during the extended mission phase from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31. The dataset is an occultation measurement covering the specific time interval 2015-09 07T05:18:09.500 to 2015-09-07T05:42:03.949. It was published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyze Martian atmospheric density profiles based on radio occultation measurements.
• Model signal propagation and refraction through the Martian atmosphere based on the time-series data.
• Validate and calibrate planetary atmospheric models using precise occultation timing data.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific, precisely defined time interval from 2015-09-07T05:18:09.500 to 2015-09-07T05:42:03.949.
• Dataset originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a recognized authority in space science.
• Data was collected during a defined mission phase from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31.

Limitations

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