MARS EXPRESS: Solar Conjunction Radio Science Data from Extended Mission 2013-2014

Mars Express Radio Science data collected during a Solar Conjunction event on 2013-04 24. The dataset covers the extended mission phase from 2013-01-01 to 2014-12-31. It was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and last updated on the platform in 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing signal propagation and attenuation during solar conjunction based on radio science measurements.
• Studying solar corona effects on spacecraft communications based on the described Solar Conjunction measurement.
• Modeling atmospheric or ionospheric properties of Mars using data from the Mars Express mission phase.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific, documented time range from 2013-04-24T05:04:21.000 to 2013-04-24T08:49:01.500.
• Dataset is associated with a defined mission phase (Extended Mission 4) from 2013-01-01 to 2014-12-31.
• Originates from the authoritative source National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count, file formats, and data size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
