MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2016

Mars Express Radio Science data was collected by NASA during the extended mission phase from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31. The dataset contains occultation measurements covering a specific time interval from 2016-11-12T03:22:01 to 2016-11-12T04:07:00. It was last updated on 2026-03-13.

Use Cases

• Analyzing atmospheric properties based on occultation measurements
• Studying signal propagation and attenuation for radio science experiments
• Modeling planetary atmospheric conditions during the specified time window
• Calibrating radio science instruments using recorded mission data

Strengths

• Data originates from a NASA mission, suggesting institutional credibility
• Specific temporal coverage is defined for both the mission phase (2015-2016) and a measurement interval (2016-11-12)

Limitations

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