MARS EXPRESS: Solar Conjunction Radio Science Measurements from 2015

Mars Express Radio Science data collected by NASA during an extended mission phase. The dataset covers a specific Solar Conjunction measurement period from 2015-05-25T00:33:15.000 to 2015-05-25T05:15:16.500. The data was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze signal propagation effects during solar conjunction based on the described measurement event
• Study solar corona influence on spacecraft communications based on the radio science data type
• Model planetary atmospheric properties using inferred radio occultation techniques
• Validate spacecraft communication models for Mars missions based on the specific time range

Strengths

• Data originates from a specific NASA mission (Mars Express)
• Measurement covers a precise time window of nearly 5 hours
• Dataset is associated with a defined mission phase from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31

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
