MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2021

Mars Express Radio Science data collected during the extended mission phase from 2021-01-01 to 2022-12-31. The specific measurement covers the time period 2021-01-09T10:08:33.100 to 2021-01-09T10:30:41.750. The dataset is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Modeling atmospheric density profiles based on radio signal occultation data.
• Analyzing ionospheric electron density based on radio science measurements.
• Studying temporal changes in the Martian atmosphere based on the 2021-2022 mission timeframe.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a defined two-year mission period from 2021-01-01 to 2022-12-31.
• Provides a precise timestamp for a specific occultation 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.
