MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2015-2016

Mars Express Radio Science data collected by NASA during the extended mission phase from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12 31. The dataset contains occultation measurements, with a specific time slice from 2015-09-08T09:15:54.000 to 2015-09-08T09:39:44.949. It was last updated on the platform in 2026-03-13 18:24:59.018450.

Use Cases

• Modeling Martian atmospheric density profiles based on occultation measurement data.
• Analyzing signal propagation and attenuation for planetary radio science experiments.
• Studying temporal atmospheric variations on Mars during the 2015-2016 extended mission period.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative NASA Mars Express mission.
• Covers a defined two-year extended mission period from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31.
• Provides a precise timestamp for a specific occultation event in 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.
