Mars Express Radio Science Occultation Data from Extended Mission 2019-2020

Mars Express Radio Science occultation measurements collected by the European Space Agency's Mars Express spacecraft. The data covers a specific event from 2019-10-14T07:28:45.000 to 2019-10-14T07:59:32.349 during the extended mission phase from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31. The dataset is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyzing Martian atmospheric profiles based on radio signal occultation measurements.
• Studying ionospheric electron density based on radio science data.
• Modeling signal propagation and refraction through the Martian atmosphere.
• Validating atmospheric models for Mars using empirical occultation data.

Strengths

• Data is from a specific, well-defined time window (2019-10-14T07:28:45.000 to 2019-10-14T07:59:32.349).
• Covers the extended mission phase from 2019-01-01 to 2020 12-31.
• Originates from a recognized space agency (National Aeronautics and Space Administration).

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
