MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2020

Mars Express Radio Science data collected during an occultation event on 2020-09-09. The dataset covers a 50-minute observation window from 03:05:00 to 03:55:00 UTC. It was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as part of the extended mission phase from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12 31.

Use Cases

• Analyzing Martian atmospheric structure based on occultation signal measurements.
• Studying signal propagation and refraction for planetary science missions.
• Modeling time-series data from a specific radio science observation event.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Mars Express mission by NASA.
• Covers a specific 50-minute occultation event with precise timestamps.
• Part of a defined extended mission phase from 2019 to 2020.

Limitations

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