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

A Mars Express Radio Science dataset collected during the extended mission phase from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31. It contains occultation measurements covering a specific event from 2019-06-18T07:04:09.100 to 2019-06-18T07:26:17.449. The data was published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyzing atmospheric properties of Mars based on radio occultation measurements.
• Studying temporal changes in the Martian atmosphere during the 2019-2020 extended mission phase.
• Validating atmospheric models using precise time-series data from a specific occultation event.

Strengths

• Data covers a defined two-year extended mission phase from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31.
• Includes a precisely timestamped occultation event from 2019-06-18T07:04:09.100 to 2019-06-18T07:26:17.449.
