MARS EXPRESS: Radio Science Solar Conjunction Measurements from 2015

2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31 is the extended mission period for this Mars Express Radio Science data set. It contains Solar Conjunction measurements from a specific event on 2015-06-26T23:23:01 to 2015-06-27T05:09:00. The dataset was published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and last updated on 2026-03 -13.

Use Cases

• Modeling solar plasma effects on radio signals based on Solar Conjunction measurement data
• Analyzing signal attenuation and scintillation during planetary conjunctions based on the described measurement event
• Studying Mars Express spacecraft communication performance during its extended mission phase from 2015-2016

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative National Aeronautics and Space Administration
• Covers a defined two-year extended mission period from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31
• Focuses on a specific, timestamped Solar Conjunction measurement event

Limitations

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