Mars Express Radio Science Occultation Data from 2019-2020

Mars Express Radio Science data collected during the extended mission phase from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31. The dataset is a specific occultation measurement covering the time interval 2019-04-01T06:53:18.100 to 2019-04-01T07:15:26.600. It originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing atmospheric density profiles of Mars based on radio signal occultation data.
• Studying ionospheric electron density variations based on the time-series radio science measurements.
• Modeling signal propagation and refraction through the Martian atmosphere based on the described occultation event.
• Validating atmospheric models for Mars using precise time-stamped measurement data.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative source National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a defined two-year extended mission period from 2019 to 2020.
• Provides a precise timestamp for a specific measurement event.

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.
