Mars Express Radio Science Occultation Data from Extended Mission

2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31 is the extended mission phase for this Mars Express Radio Science dataset. It contains occultation measurements from a specific observation period on 2019-04-06. The data was collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyzing atmospheric density profiles based on occultation measurements
• Studying ionospheric electron density based on radio science data
• Modeling signal propagation through Mars's atmosphere based on occultation events
• Investigating temporal atmospheric changes based on the specified observation window

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
• Specific observation time window is defined: 2019-04-06T18:20:00.000 to 2019-04-06T20:00:00.000
• Mission phase is clearly stated: extended mission from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31

Limitations

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