MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 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 contains occultation measurements, with a specific sample time range from 2021-04-03T06:20:33.600 to 2021-04-03T06:58:27.750. It was last updated on the platform in 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling Mars atmospheric density profiles based on occultation measurements.
• Analyzing signal propagation and attenuation for radio science experiments.
• Studying temporal changes in the Martian atmosphere during the 2021-2022 extended mission.

Strengths

• Data covers a defined two-year mission period from 2021-01-01 to 2022-12-31.
• Specific measurement type (occultation) and a precise sample timestamp are documented.
• Originates from the authoritative source NASA.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
