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. It is an occultation measurement covering a specific 22-minute observation window on 2023-08-19. The dataset originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling Martian atmospheric density profiles based on radio signal occultation data.
• Analyzing signal propagation anomalies for planetary science research.
• Studying temporal atmospheric variations during the specified 2023 observation window.
• Calibrating radio science instruments for future space mission planning.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a precisely defined observation window from 2023-08-19T05:43:48.100 to 2023-08-19T06:05:56.000.
• Last updated on the platform on 2026-03-13, suggesting recent metadata maintenance.
