MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2018

Mars Express Radio Science data collected during the extended mission phase from 2017-01-01 to 2018-12-31. The dataset is an occultation measurement covering a specific time window on 2018-10-09. It originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Use Cases

• Analyzing Martian atmospheric density profiles based on radio signal occultation measurements.
• Studying signal propagation and attenuation through the Martian atmosphere based on the described measurement type.
• Modeling planetary atmospheric conditions using time-series radio science data from a specific mission event.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a recognized space agency.
• Covers a specific, documented time range from 2017-01-01 to 2018-12-31.
• Focuses on a precise measurement event on 2018-10-09T14:27:43.399 to 2018-10-09T14:57:16.399.

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.
