MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2020

Mars Express Radio Science data was collected during the extended mission phase from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12 31. The data is an occultation measurement covering a specific time interval from 2020-08-20T01:23:32.000 to 2020-08-20T01:45:40.500. The dataset originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was last updated on 2026-03-13.

Use Cases

• Analyzing Martian atmospheric profiles based on radio signal occultation measurements.
• Studying signal propagation and attenuation through the Martian atmosphere.
• Validating atmospheric models for Mars using precise time-series data from a specific observation window.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a precisely defined observation window from 2020-08-20T01:23:32.000 to 2020-08-20T01:45:40.500.
• Part of a defined mission phase (extended mission) from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
