MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2022-05-17

Mars Express Radio Science data collected during the extended mission phase from 2021-01-01 to 2022 12-31. This specific occultation measurement covers a precise 2.5-hour window on 2022-05-17. The data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and was last updated in the catalog on 2026-03-13.

Use Cases

• Modeling Martian atmospheric density profiles based on radio signal occultation data.
• Analyzing signal propagation delays to infer atmospheric composition during the specified time window.
• Studying temporal variations in the Martian ionosphere using the precise occultation measurement.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a precisely defined time range from 2022-05-17T17:45:16.000 to 2022-05-17T20:20:03.000.
• Part of a defined extended mission phase spanning 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.
