MARS EXPRESS: Radio Science Solar Conjunction 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 dataset contains Solar Conjunction measurements for the specific time interval 2015-05 21T03:36:25.000 to 2015-05-21T07:03:36.500. The data was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing solar plasma effects on radio signals based on Solar Conjunction measurements.
• Studying signal propagation delays and distortions for planetary communication.
• Modeling the Martian ionosphere and solar corona based on radio science data.
• Calibrating radio science instruments for deep-space missions.

Strengths

• Data covers a defined two-year mission phase from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31.
• Provides a precise measurement window for a specific solar conjunction event.

Limitations

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