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 includes occultation measurements covering a specific 2-hour observation window on 2019-07-26. It was last updated on the datagov platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing Martian atmospheric density profiles based on radio occultation measurements.
• Studying signal propagation and attenuation for planetary radio science missions.
• Modeling atmospheric conditions on Mars during the specified 2019 observation period.
• Calibrating radio science instruments using the described occultation event data.

Strengths

• Data originates from NASA, a recognized authority in space exploration.
• Covers a specific 2-hour observation window (2019-07-26T01:30:00.000 to 2019-07-26T03:30:00.000) for detailed analysis.
• Part of a defined extended mission phase from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31, providing temporal context.

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.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
