MARS EXPRESS MRS Extended Mission Occultation Measurements 2021-2022

NASA's Mars Express Radio Science dataset contains occultation measurements collected during the extended mission phase from 2021-01-01 to 2022-12-31. A specific measurement covers the time period 2022-06-01T02:15:25.500 to 2022-06-01T02:37:34.049. The dataset was last updated on 2026-03-13.

Use Cases

• Analyze atmospheric profiles based on occultation measurements
• Study signal propagation and attenuation based on radio science data
• Validate and calibrate radio science instruments based on mission data
• Model Martian atmospheric conditions based on time-series measurements

Strengths

• Data collected by NASA's Mars Express mission
• Specific time range for a measurement event: 2022-06-01T02:15:25.500 to 2022-06-01T02:37:34.049
• Mission phase explicitly defined: extended mission from 2021-01-01 to 2022-12-31

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
