MARS EXPRESS MRS: 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 2015-09-19T03:58:41.000 to 2015-09-19T04:22:34.949. The data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Use Cases

• Analyze Martian atmospheric profiles based on radio signal occultation data.
• Validate atmospheric models using precise time-series measurements from a specific mission phase.
• Study signal propagation and attenuation for planetary radio science experiments.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative space agency, National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a defined two-year mission phase from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31.
• Provides a precise measurement timestamp for a specific occultation event.

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.
