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

2021-01-01 to 2022-12-31 is the temporal coverage for this Mars Express Radio Science dataset, collected during the extended mission phase. It contains occultation measurements, with a specific example from 2021-04-02T09:02:19.200 to 2021-04-02T09:44:23.799. The dataset was provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Modeling Martian atmospheric density profiles based on radio occultation measurements.
• Analyzing signal propagation and attenuation through the Martian atmosphere based on the occultation data.
• Validating atmospheric models for Mars using time-series radio science observations.

Strengths

• Data collected during a defined extended mission phase from 2021-01-01 to 2022-12-31.
• Specific measurement time range provided (2021-04-02T09:02:19.200 to 2021-04-02T09:44:23.799).
