MARS EXPRESS: Solar Conjunction Radio Science Data from 2013

A Mars Express Radio Science dataset collected during the extended mission phase from 2013-01-01 to 2014-12 31. It contains Solar Conjunction measurements covering the specific time period from 2013-04-22T12:32:34 to 2013-04-23T17:31:11.000. The data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyzing radio signal propagation during solar conjunction based on the described measurement type.
• Studying atmospheric and ionospheric effects on Mars based on radio science data.
• Modeling solar plasma influence on spacecraft communications based on the solar conjunction context.
• Validating orbital and gravitational models using precise timing data from the described mission phase.

Strengths

• Data covers a precisely defined time range from 2013-04-22T12:32:34 to 2013-04-23T17:31:11.000.
• Originates from the authoritative source National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Dataset is part of a defined extended mission phase from 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.
