Mars Express MRS Extended Mission Radio Science Occultation Data 2019-2020

MARS EXPRESS MRS 1/2/3 EXTENDED MISSION 7 4141 V1.0 is a Mars Express Radio Science data set collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The data was gathered during the extended mission phase from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31. It contains occultation measurements covering a specific time window on 2020-09-22.

Use Cases

• Modeling Martian atmospheric density and pressure based on radio signal occultation measurements.
• Analyzing temporal changes in the Martian ionosphere based on the 2019-2020 mission time range.
• Calibrating radio science instruments for future missions using the specific occultation event data.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a defined two-year extended mission phase from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31.
• Contains a specific, timestamped occultation measurement event.

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.
