Mars Express MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2019

Mars Express Radio Science data collected by NASA during the extended mission phase from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31. The dataset is an occultation measurement covering a specific observation window from 2019-05-13T18:50:53.100 to 2019-05-13T19:13:03.500.

Use Cases

• Modeling Martian atmospheric density profiles based on radio occultation measurements.
• Analyzing signal propagation and attenuation for planetary radio science studies.
• Validating atmospheric models for Mars using time-series data from a specific observation period.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a leading space agency.
• Covers a defined two-year extended mission phase from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31.
• Contains a specific occultation measurement with precise timestamps.

Limitations

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