Mars Express Radio Science Occultation Data from 2020-09-05

One occultation measurement collected by the Mars Express spacecraft between 2020-09 05T01:15:00.000 and 2020-09-05T02:05:00.000. The data was gathered during the extended mission phase from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyzing atmospheric density profiles based on radio signal occultation data.
• Studying ionospheric electron density based on radio signal propagation measurements.
• Modeling Martian atmospheric structure based on the time-series occultation event.
• Validating atmospheric models for Mars based on direct spacecraft measurements.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a primary space science authority.
• Covers a specific 50-minute occultation event with precise start and end timestamps.
• Collected during a defined extended mission phase 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.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
