MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2022

Mars Express Radio Science data was collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration during the extended mission phase from 2021-01-01 to 2022-12-31. The specific occultation measurement covers a time window from 2022-05 16T06:45:22.000 to 2022-05-16T09:20:03.000. The dataset was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling Martian atmospheric density profiles based on radio signal occultation measurements.
• Analyzing signal propagation anomalies for planetary science research mentioned in the description.
• Studying temporal atmospheric variations during the specified 2022 observation window.
• Calibrating instruments or validating models using data from the Mars Express extended mission.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a precisely defined observation window from 2022-05-16T06:45:22.000 to 2022-05-16T09:20:03.000.
• Part of a defined mission phase spanning from 2021-01-01 to 2022-12-31.

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.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
