Mars Express Radio Science Occultation Data from 2022

Mars Express Radio Science data collected during an occultation event on 2022-06-03. This dataset from NASA's extended mission phase covers a specific 82-minute observation window. It is part of the MARS MRS 1/2/3 EXTENDED MISSION 8 series.

Use Cases

• Modeling Martian atmospheric density profiles based on radio signal occultation data
• Analyzing time-series signal propagation data for planetary science research
• Validating atmospheric models using precise occultation measurement timestamps

Strengths

• Data originates from NASA's Mars Express mission, a recognized planetary science source
• Covers a precisely defined 82-minute observation window on 2022-06-03
• Part of a structured extended mission series (MARS MRS 1/2/3 EXTENDED MISSION 8)

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
