MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Measurements 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 observation window from 2022-05 21T06:57:16.000 to 2022-05-21T08:05:21.000. The data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Modeling Martian atmospheric density profiles based on radio signal occultation data.
• Analyzing temporal changes in the Martian ionosphere based on time-series occultation measurements.
• Calibrating or validating planetary science instruments using data from the Mars Express mission.

Strengths

• Data covers a defined two-year extended mission phase from 2021-01-01 to 2022-12-31.
• Specific observation timestamp (2022-05-21T06:57:16.000 to 2022-05-21T08:05:21.000) is provided for a sample measurement.
• Source is the authoritative National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
