MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2022

Mars Express Radio Science data collected during the extended mission phase from 2021-01-01 to 2022-12 31. The dataset is an occultation measurement covering a specific observation window from 2022-06-04T05:15:28.000 to 2022-06-04T07:45:04.000. It was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and last updated on the platform in 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing Martian atmospheric structure based on radio signal occultation measurements.
• Studying signal propagation and attenuation for planetary radio science.
• Modeling atmospheric density and composition from the described occultation event.
• Calibrating radio science instruments for future Mars missions.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Mars Express mission by NASA.
• Covers a precisely defined observation window of over two hours on 2022-06-04.
• Part of a defined extended mission phase spanning two full years (2021-2022).

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.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
