Mars Express Radio Science Occultation Data from Extended Mission 2021-2022

2021-01-01 to 2022-12-31 is the extended mission phase for this Mars Express Radio Science data set. It contains occultation measurements, with a specific example covering the time 2022-05 25T07:45:18.000 to 2022-05-25T10:00:03.000. The dataset is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyzing atmospheric density profiles based on radio signal occultation measurements.
• Studying ionospheric electron density based on radio science data.
• Modeling signal propagation through the Martian atmosphere based on occultation events.
• Investigating temporal variations in atmospheric properties based on the 2021-2022 mission timeframe.

Strengths

• Data covers a defined two-year extended mission phase from 2021-01-01 to 2022-12-31.
• Specific measurement type (occultation) and a precise example time range are documented.
• Originates from 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.
