MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Data from 2023

2023-01-01 to 2023-12-31 is the mission period for this Mars Express Radio Science dataset. It contains occultation measurements from a specific event on 2023-08 28T06:17:43.000 to 2023-08-28T06:39:51.300. The data was collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and last updated on the platform in 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling Martian atmospheric density and pressure profiles based on radio signal occultation data.
• Analyzing signal propagation delays and Doppler shifts to study the Martian ionosphere.
• Validating atmospheric models for Mars using precise time-series measurements from a spacecraft.
• Studying temporal variations in the Martian atmosphere during a specific occultation event.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a primary space science authority.
• Covers a precisely defined event window from 2023-08-28T06:17:43.000 to 2023-08-28T06:39:51.300.
• Part of the extended mission phase from 2023-01-01 to 2023-12-31, indicating operational continuity.

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.
