MARS EXPRESS: Solar Conjunction Radio Science Measurements from 2015

Mars Express Radio Science data collected by NASA during the extended mission phase from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31. The specific measurements cover a Solar Conjunction event on 2015-05-05 from 09:07:01 to 12:34:00. This dataset was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing solar corona effects on radio signals based on Solar Conjunction measurements
• Studying signal scintillation and attenuation for deep-space communication planning
• Modeling plasma density in the solar wind using time-series radio science data
• Investigating Mars Express spacecraft performance during specific orbital events

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative NASA Mars Express mission.
• Covers a specific, well-defined Solar Conjunction event on 2015-05-05.
• Time range for the primary measurement is precisely defined from 09:07:01 to 12:34:00.

Limitations

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