MARS EXPRESS: Solar Conjunction Radio Science Data from 2015-2016

NASA's Mars Express Radio Science data set was collected during the extended mission phase from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12 31. It contains Solar Conjunction measurements covering the specific time period 2015-06-01T00:29:10.000 to 2015-06-01T08:34:07.500. The dataset was last updated on the platform on 2026-03-13.

Use Cases

• Analyzing solar plasma effects on radio signals based on the Solar Conjunction measurement type.
• Studying time-series signal propagation data from the Mars Express spacecraft.
• Modeling planetary atmospheric and ionospheric properties using radio science techniques.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative source NASA.
• Covers a defined two-year mission phase from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31.
• Includes a specific, high-precision measurement window on 2015-06-01.

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.
