MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2023

2023-01-01 to 2023-12-31 is the temporal coverage for this Mars Express Radio Science dataset, collected during the extended mission phase. It contains occultation measurements from a specific event on 2023-08-02T08:30:39.000 to 2023-08-02T08:52:47.100. The data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was last updated on the platform in 2026-03-13.

Use Cases

• Analyzing atmospheric density profiles based on radio signal occultation measurements.
• Studying ionospheric electron density variations during the specified occultation event.
• Validating atmospheric models for Mars using time-stamped radio science data from the extended mission.

Strengths

• Data covers a full calendar year from 2023-01-01 to 2023-12-31.
• Contains a precisely timestamped occultation event from 2023-08-02.
• Produced by the authoritative space agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

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.
