MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2020

MARS EXPRESS MARS MRS 1/2/3 EXTENDED MISSION 7 4134 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, covering a specific time period from 2020-09-18T04:10:41.100 to 2020-09-18T04:32:49.549. The dataset was last updated on 2026-03-13.

Use Cases

• Analyzing Martian atmospheric density profiles based on radio occultation measurements.
• Studying signal propagation and refraction in the Martian atmosphere based on the described occultation data.
• Modeling planetary atmospheric conditions using time-series radio science data from a specific mission event.
• Calibrating radio science instruments for Mars missions based on the extended mission phase data.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a precisely defined time range from 2020-09-18T04:10:41.100 to 2020-09-18T04:32:49.549.
• Dataset metadata indicates a recent update on 2026-03-13.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
