MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Measurements from 2018

Mars Express Radio Science data collected by NASA during the extended mission phase from 2017-01-01 to 2018-12-31. The specific occultation measurement covers the time period 2018-03-07T08:47:21.000 to 2018 03-07T09:18:28.949.

Use Cases

• Modeling Martian atmospheric density profiles based on occultation measurements.
• Analyzing signal propagation and attenuation for radio science experiments.
• Studying temporal variations in the Martian ionosphere based on the time-series data.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative NASA Mars Express mission.
• Covers a specific, documented time range from 2018-03-07T08:47:21.000 to 2018-03-07T09:18:28.949.
