Mars Express MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2019-04-05

One Mars Express Radio Science occultation measurement, collected by NASA from 2019-04-05T08:41:39.100 to 2019-04-05T09:03:47.649. The data set covers the extended mission phase from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31 and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing Martian atmospheric structure based on radio signal occultation data.
• Studying signal propagation and attenuation for planetary communication science.
• Validating atmospheric models using precise time-series measurement data.
• Researching ionospheric electron density profiles from radio science experiments.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative NASA Mars Express mission.
• Covers a specific, precisely timestamped occultation event on 2019-04-05.
• Part of a defined extended mission phase from 2019-01-01 to 2020 12-31.

Limitations

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