MARS EXPRESS: Solar Conjunction Radio Science Data from 2015

Mars Express Radio Science data collected during the extended mission phase from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31. The dataset is a Solar Conjunction measurement covering the specific time interval from 2015-07 05T15:13:01 to 2015-07-05T17:34:00. It was provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyzing signal propagation effects during solar conjunction based on the radio science measurement.
• Studying atmospheric and ionospheric properties of Mars based on radio occultation data implied by the mission type.
• Modeling solar plasma influence on spacecraft communication based on the solar conjunction event described.
• Calibrating radio science instruments for Mars missions based on the extended mission phase data.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific solar conjunction event with precise timestamps from 2015-07-05T15:13:01 to 2015-07-05T17:34:00.
• Dataset is associated with a defined mission phase (extended mission) from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31.
• Provided by the authoritative source National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

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.
