MARS EXPRESS: Solar Conjunction Radio Science Measurements from 2011

Mars Express Radio Science data collected during a Solar Conjunction event on 2011-02-03. The dataset covers the time range from 09:00:39 to 10:59:56.500 UTC. It was gathered by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration during the extended mission phase from 2010-01-01 to 2012-12-31.

Use Cases

• Analyzing solar plasma effects on radio signals based on Solar Conjunction measurements.
• Studying signal propagation time series during a specific conjunction event.
• Modeling radio science data from the Mars Express spacecraft's extended mission.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific, well-defined Solar Conjunction event on 2011-02-03.
• Time range is precisely defined from 09:00:39 to 10:59:56.500 UTC.
• Collected by the authoritative 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.
