Mars Express Radio Science Occultation Data from 2021-2022 Extended Mission

One Mars Express Radio Science occultation measurement, covering the time from 2021-02-02T14:01:03.100 to 2021-02-02T14:23:10.750. The dataset was collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration during the extended mission phase from 2021-01-01 to 2022-12-31. It was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing atmospheric properties of Mars based on radio signal occultation measurements.
• Studying temporal signal variations during a specific occultation event.
• Validating or calibrating models of the Martian ionosphere or atmosphere using time-series radio science data.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative source National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a precisely defined time range from 2021-01-01 to 2022-12-31 for the mission phase.
• The specific occultation event is timestamped with millisecond precision.

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.
