Mars Express Radio Science Occultation Data from 2019

Mars Express Radio Science occultation measurements collected by NASA between 2019-01-01 and 2020-12-31. The specific data subset covers a two-hour observation window from 2019-07-01T00:55:00.000 to 2019-07-01T02:50:00.000. This dataset is part of the extended mission phase and was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing atmospheric properties of Mars based on occultation measurement data.
• Studying signal propagation and attenuation for radio science experiments.
• Modeling planetary atmospheric profiles using time-series occultation observations.
• Validating spacecraft instrument performance during extended mission phases.

Strengths

• Data originates from the NASA Mars Express mission, a trusted source.
• Provides a precise two-hour observation window for detailed analysis.
• Covers an extended mission phase from 2019 to 2020.

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.
