MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2023

2023-01-01 to 2023-12-31 is the extended mission period for this Mars Express Radio Science dataset. It contains occultation measurements from a specific observation window on 2023-08-12. The data was collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and published on the datagov platform.

Use Cases

• Analyzing Martian atmospheric density profiles based on radio signal occultation data.
• Studying signal propagation anomalies for planetary science based on time-series measurements.
• Modeling atmospheric conditions during a specific observation window in 2023.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a defined one-year extended mission period from 2023-01-01 to 2023-12-31.
• Contains a specific, high-resolution observation window from 2023-08-12T09:25:14.000 to 2023-08-12T13:35:01.000.

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 size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
