Mars Express Radio Science Occultation Measurements, 2024

Mars Express spacecraft collected radio science data during an occultation event on March 2, 2024. This dataset covers the extended mission phase from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2026. The data was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyzing Martian atmospheric density profiles based on occultation measurements
• Studying signal attenuation and refraction in planetary atmospheres based on radio science data
• Modeling planetary atmospheric composition based on occultation event timing
• Investigating spacecraft communication link performance during occultation events

Strengths

• Data covers a specific occultation event from March 2, 2024, 22:10:35 to March 2, 2024, 22:32:43
• Dataset spans the extended mission phase from 2023-01-01 to 2026-12-31

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
