MARS EXPRESS: Solar Conjunction Radio Science Measurements from 2015

Mars Express Radio Science data collected during a specific Solar Conjunction event on 2015-07-08. The dataset covers a precise 2-hour window from 06:18:01 to 08:13:00 UTC. It was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as part of the extended mission phase from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12 31.

Use Cases

• Analyzing solar plasma effects on radio signals based on Solar Conjunction measurement data
• Studying signal propagation and attenuation during planetary conjunctions based on Radio Science data
• Modeling time-series variations in spacecraft telemetry during specific orbital events
• Correlating radio science observations with other Mars Express instrument data

Strengths

• Data covers a precisely defined 2-hour observation window on 2015-07-08.
• Dataset is part of a defined extended mission phase from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31.
• Originates from 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.
