Mars Express Radio Science: Solar Conjunction Measurements from 2011

Mars Express Radio Science data collected during the extended mission phase from 2010-01-01 to 2012-12-31. The specific measurements cover a Solar Conjunction event from 2011-02-12T10:00:40 to 2011-02-12T13:44:56.500. This dataset is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyzing signal propagation effects during solar conjunction based on the described radio science measurements.
• Studying temporal variations in planetary atmospheric properties based on the specified time-series data collection.
• Modeling solar plasma influence on spacecraft communication based on the Solar Conjunction measurement context.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific, well-defined Solar Conjunction event lasting over 3 hours on 2011-02 12.
• Dataset is associated with the Mars Express mission's extended phase from 2010 to 2012.
• Provided by the authoritative source 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 for large-scale analysis.
