MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2022

Mars Express Radio Science data collected during the extended mission from 2021-01-01 to 2022-12 31. The dataset contains occultation measurements from a specific observation window on 2022-06-01. It was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling Martian atmospheric density profiles based on radio signal occultation data.
• Analyzing signal propagation time series to study ionospheric effects.
• Validating atmospheric models for Mars using empirical measurement data from the extended mission.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a recognized space agency.
• Covers a specific, well-defined observation period from 2022-06-01T08:43:02.000 to 2022-06-01T09:46:07.000.
• Part of a defined mission phase (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.
