MARS EXPRESS: Solar Conjunction Radio Science Measurements from 2015

Mars Express Radio Science data collected during a specific Solar Conjunction event on 2015-06-05. The dataset covers a 3-hour and 11-minute observation window from 11:18:01 to 14:29:00 UTC. It was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration during the extended mission phase from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31.

Use Cases

• Modeling solar plasma effects on radio signals based on Solar Conjunction measurements.
• Analyzing signal propagation delays for spacecraft navigation based on the radio science data type.
• Studying temporal variations in the Martian communication environment based on the 2015-06-05 observation window.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a primary space agency.
• Covers a precise 3-hour and 11-minute observation window on 2015-06-05.
• Part of a defined extended 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.
