MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2019-2020

MARS EXPRESS MRS 1/2/3 EXTENDED MISSION 7 4007 V1.0 is a Mars Express Radio Science data set collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It contains occultation measurements from the extended mission phase between 2019-01-01 and 2020-12-31, with a specific record from 2019-05-17T20:39:05.299 to 2019-05-17T21:01:13.549. The dataset was last updated on 2026-03-13.

Use Cases

• Modeling Martian atmospheric density profiles based on occultation measurements.
• Analyzing signal propagation characteristics for radio science experiments.
• Studying temporal variations in the Martian atmosphere during the specified 2019-2020 mission phase.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a recognized space agency.
• The temporal coverage is explicitly defined as 2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31.
• A specific measurement time range (2019-05-17) is provided for a sample record.

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.
