MARS EXPRESS: Radio Science Data from Solar Conjunction 2013

Mars Express Radio Science data collected during an extended mission phase from 2013-01-01 to 2014-12-31. The data is a Solar Conjunction measurement covering a specific observation window on 2013-03-25. The dataset is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing solar plasma effects on radio signals based on Solar Conjunction measurements.
• Studying Mars atmospheric properties using radio science data from the Mars Express mission.
• Modeling signal propagation and scintillation during a specific planetary conjunction event.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific, well-defined observation window from 2013-03-25T05:53:15.000 to 2013-03-25T09:15:25.500.
• Dataset originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a recognized space agency.
• Temporal coverage for the mission phase is explicitly stated as 2013-01-01 to 2014-12-31.

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.
