MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Measurements from 2022

2021-01-01 to 2022-12-31 is the mission period for this Mars Express Radio Science dataset. It contains occultation measurements from a specific observation window on 2022-05-10. The data was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

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

Strengths

• Data covers a defined two-year extended mission phase from 2021 to 2022.
• Provides a specific, high-resolution observation window for a single occultation event.

Limitations

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