Mars Express Radio Science Occultation Data, 2019-2020

2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31 is the coverage period for this Mars Express Radio Science dataset, collected during the extended mission phase. It contains occultation measurements, with one specific observation from 2019-04-23T09:50:03.100 to 2019-04-23T10:12:10.349. The data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyzing Martian atmospheric profiles based on radio occultation measurements.
• Studying temporal changes in the Martian ionosphere based on the 2019-2020 mission timeframe.
• Validating atmospheric models using precise occultation timing data.
• Investigating signal propagation characteristics for planetary radio science missions.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a recognized space agency.
• Covers a defined two-year extended mission period from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31.
• Includes a specific, precisely timed occultation event on 2019-04 23.

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.
