MARS EXPRESS: Radio Science Solar Conjunction Measurements from August 2019

MARS EXPRESS SUN MRS 1/2/3 EXTENDED MISSION 7 4034 V1.0 is a Mars Express Radio Science data set collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It contains Solar Conjunction measurements from a specific event on 2019-08-17, between 07:00:00.000 and 12:15:00.000. The data was gathered during the extended mission phase from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12 31.

Use Cases

• Analyzing signal propagation effects during a solar conjunction event based on the described measurement type.
• Studying solar corona or interplanetary medium based on radio science data collected during the specified time window.
• Calibrating or validating models for radio signal attenuation based on the mission and event context.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a precisely defined event window from 2019-08-17T07:00:00.000 to 2019-08-17T12:15:00.000.
• Part of a defined mission phase from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31.

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.
