MARS EXPRESS: Solar Conjunction Radio Science Data from Extended Mission 5

Mars Express Radio Science data collected by NASA during the extended mission phase from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31. The specific measurement covers a single solar conjunction event on 2015-05 18, from 03:03:25 to 08:53:26.

Use Cases

• Analyzing signal attenuation and scintillation based on solar conjunction measurements.
• Studying solar corona effects on radio signals based on the described measurement event.
• Modeling radio science data for Mars mission planning based on the extended mission time frame.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
• Covers a defined extended mission phase from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31.
• Specific measurement time range is precisely documented (2015-05-18T03:03:25.000 to 2015-05-18T08:53:26.000).

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.
