MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2016

MARS EXPRESS MRS 1/2/3 EXTENDED MISSION 5 3855 V1.0 is a Mars Express Radio Science data set collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It contains occultation measurements from a specific observation period on 2016-11-10. The data covers the extended mission phase from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31.

Use Cases

• Analyzing atmospheric density profiles based on radio occultation measurements.
• Studying signal propagation through the Martian atmosphere during occultation events.
• Validating atmospheric models for Mars using time-stamped radio science data.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a recognized space agency.
• The temporal coverage of the specific observation is precisely defined from 2016-11-10T16:27:01 to 2016-11-10T17:08:00.
• The dataset is part of a defined extended 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.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
