Mars Express MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2023

Mars Express Radio Science occultation measurements collected between 2023-08-06T17:18:31.500 and 2023-08-06T17:40:39.000. The dataset was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration during the extended mission phase from 2023-01-01 to 2023-12-31.

Use Cases

• Analyze Martian atmospheric density profiles based on occultation measurements
• Study signal attenuation and propagation through the Martian atmosphere based on radio science data
• Validate atmospheric models for Mars based on time-series occultation observations

Strengths

• Data covers a specific, high-resolution time window (2023-08-06T17:18:31.500 to 2023-08-06T17:40:39.000)
• Produced by the authoritative source 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
