MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Measurements from 2020-09-07

MARS EXPRESS MRS 1/2/3 EXTENDED MISSION 7 4122 V1.0 is a Mars Express Radio Science data set collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It contains occultation measurements from the extended mission phase between 2019-01-01 and 2020-12 31. The specific time coverage for this data is from 2020-09-07T23:33:40.200 to 2020-09-07T23:55:48.500.

Use Cases

• Analyzing Martian atmospheric density profiles based on radio occultation measurements.
• Studying signal propagation and attenuation through the Martian atmosphere.
• Modeling planetary atmospheric conditions during specific occultation events.
• Calibrating radio science instruments for the Mars Express mission.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a leading space agency.
• Covers a specific, well-defined time range from 2020-09-07T23:33:40.200 to 2020-09-07T23:55:48.500.
• Part of the extended mission phase, which suggests continued operational data collection.

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.
