Mars Express Solar Conjunction Radio Science Measurements, 2013-04-10

Mars Express spacecraft radio science data collected during a Solar Conjunction event on April 10, 2013. The dataset covers a precise two-hour window from 14:24:20 to 16:46:17 UTC. It was produced by NASA during the extended mission phase from 2013 to 2014.

Use Cases

• Analyze signal attenuation and distortion based on Solar Conjunction measurements
• Study solar corona effects on radio wave propagation based on the event timing
• Model spacecraft communication reliability during planetary alignments based on the mission phase

Strengths

• Data covers a precise, documented two-hour event window on 2013-04-10
• Dataset originates from the authoritative NASA Mars Express mission

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
