MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2021-2022

Mars Express Radio Science data collected by NASA from 2021-01-01 to 2022-12-31. The dataset includes occultation measurements, with one specific time interval recorded from 2021-03-19T23:43:53.100 to 2021-03-20T00:06:01.500. It was last updated on the datagov platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing Martian atmospheric density profiles based on radio occultation measurements.
• Studying signal propagation delays for planetary radio science experiments.
• Validating atmospheric models for Mars using time-series data from a specific mission phase.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), a primary space agency.
• Covers a defined two-year extended mission phase from 2021 to 2022.
• Includes a specific, documented measurement time interval for an occultation event.

Limitations

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