MARS EXPRESS MRS: Radio Science Occultation Measurements from 2023

Mars Express spacecraft radio science occultation measurements collected during its extended mission. The data covers a specific event from 2023-09-19T02:15:31.200 to 2023-09-19T02:37:39.600. This dataset is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze Martian atmospheric profiles based on occultation measurement data.
• Study signal attenuation and propagation effects based on radio science data.
• Validate spacecraft instrument performance during extended mission operations.
• Model planetary atmospheric conditions based on time-series occultation events.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a trusted source.
• The dataset covers a precisely defined time range for a specific occultation event.
• It was collected during the Mars Express extended mission phase from 2023-01-01 to 2023-12-31.

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.
