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

A Mars Express Radio Science occultation measurement dataset collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The data covers a specific observation period from 2022-06-12T23:05:22.000 to 2022-06-13T01:40:06.000 during the extended mission phase from 2021-01-01 to 2022-12 31.

Use Cases

• Modeling Martian atmospheric density profiles based on occultation measurements.
• Analyzing signal propagation time-series data for planetary science research.
• Studying temporal variations in the Martian atmosphere during the specified observation window.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a recognized authority in space exploration.
• Covers a precisely defined observation window from 2022-06-12T23:05:22.000 to 2022-06-13T01:40:06.000.
• Part of a defined extended mission phase 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.
