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

Mars Express Radio Science data collected during the extended mission phase from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12 31. The dataset is an occultation measurement covering the specific time interval from 2019-12-15T13:50:00.000 to 2019-12-15T15:40:00.000. The data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyze atmospheric density profiles based on radio signal occultation data.
• Study ionospheric electron density variations based on the described measurement type.
• Validate atmospheric models for Mars based on the specific time-stamped observations.
• Investigate signal propagation effects in the Martian environment based on the radio science methodology.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative source National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a defined two-year extended mission period from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31.
• Provides a precise measurement window from 2019-12-15T13:50:00.000 to 2019-12-15T15:40:00.000.

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.
