MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2023

Mars Express Radio Science data collected during the extended mission phase from 2023-01-01 to 2023-12-31. The dataset is a specific occultation measurement covering the time period 2023-07-30T03:39:37.000 to 2023-07-30T04:01:45.000. It originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was last updated on the platform in 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing Martian atmospheric profiles based on radio occultation measurements.
• Studying signal propagation and attenuation for planetary science missions.
• Validating atmospheric models using time-stamped occultation event data.
• Investigating temporal changes in the Martian atmosphere during the 2023 extended mission.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a specific, precisely timestamped occultation event from 2023-07 30.
• Part of the Mars Express extended mission, providing continuity from earlier phases.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
