Mars Express MRS: Radio Science Occultation Measurements 2024

Mars Express Radio Science occultation measurements collected from 2024-03-18T01:27:07.200 to 2024-03-18T01:49:15.100. The dataset covers the extended mission phase from 2023-01-01 to 2026-12-31. It was published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and last updated on 2026-03-13.

Use Cases

• Analyze Martian atmospheric density profiles based on occultation measurement data
• Study ionospheric electron density variations based on radio science signals
• Validate spacecraft orbit and instrument performance based on extended mission phase data

Strengths

• Data covers a specific, high-precision time window of approximately 22 minutes
• Dataset is part of a long-term extended mission phase spanning four years (2023-2026)
• Authoritative source is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration

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
