Mars Express Radio Science Occultation Data from 2022-06-19

A Mars Express Radio Science dataset collected during the extended mission phase from 2021-01-01 to 2022-12 31. It is an occultation measurement covering the specific time period 2022-06-19T09:05:20.000 to 2022-06-19T11:30:03.000. The dataset was published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and last updated on 2026-03-13.

Use Cases

• Analyzing Martian atmospheric profiles based on radio signal occultation measurements.
• Studying ionospheric electron density variations using the described radio science data.
• Modeling signal propagation and refraction for the Mars Express mission's extended phase.
• Validating planetary atmospheric models with time-specific occultation event data.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific, well-defined time window of over 2 hours on 2022-06-19.
• Originates from the authoritative source National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Dataset metadata includes a precise temporal coverage for the extended mission phase 2021-2022.

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.
