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

Mars Express Radio Science data collected by NASA during the extended mission phase from 2021-01-01 to 2022-12-31. The dataset includes occultation measurements, with a specific example covering the time interval 2021-02-09T13:40:17.700 to 2021-02-09T14:02:25.649.

Use Cases

• Analyzing Martian atmospheric profiles based on occultation measurements.
• Studying signal propagation and attenuation in planetary radio science experiments.
• Validating and calibrating radio science instrumentation for space missions.
• Investigating temporal variations in the Martian atmosphere during the extended mission period.

Strengths

• Data originates from the NASA Mars Express mission, a credible source.
• Specific temporal coverage is provided for the extended mission (2021-01-01 to 2022-12-31).
• A precise example measurement interval is documented (2021-02-09T13:40:17.700 to 2021-02-09T14:02:25.649).

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.
