Mars Express Radio Science Occultation Data from 2017-2018 Extended Mission

Mars Express Radio Science data collected by NASA during the spacecraft's extended mission phase from 2017-01-01 to 2018-12-31. The dataset includes occultation measurements, with a specific sample time range from 2017-01 02T03:51:01 to 2017-01-02T04:36:00.

Use Cases

• Analyzing Martian atmospheric structure based on occultation measurement data
• Studying temporal changes in the Martian ionosphere based on the 2017-2018 time range
• Modeling signal propagation for planetary radio science experiments
• Validating atmospheric models using time-series occultation data

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
• Covers a defined two-year extended mission phase from 2017-01-01 to 2018-12-31.
• Includes a specific, documented sample time range for an occultation event.

Limitations

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