Mars Express Radio Science Occultation Data from Extended Mission

Mars Express Radio Science occultation measurements collected by NASA between 2015-01-01 and 2016-12-31. The specific data subset covers a 45-minute observation window on 2016-12-06. This dataset originates from the extended mission phase of the Mars Express spacecraft.

Use Cases

• Analyze atmospheric density profiles based on occultation measurements
• Model signal propagation through the Martian atmosphere based on radio science data
• Validate atmospheric models for Mars based on time-series occultation data

Strengths

• Data covers a defined two-year mission phase from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31
• Specific observation window is precisely documented from 2016-12-06T22:07:01 to 2016-12-06T22:52:00

Limitations

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