MARS EXPRESS: Solar Conjunction Radio Science Data from 2019

A Mars Express Radio Science dataset collected during the extended mission phase from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31. The data is a Solar Conjunction measurement covering the specific time period 2019-08-19T07:20:00.000 to 2019-08 19T12:50:00.000. It was published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and last updated on 2026-04-10.

Use Cases

• Analyzing signal propagation effects during solar conjunction based on radio science measurements.
• Studying solar corona and interplanetary medium based on radio signal data.
• Calibrating or validating models for spacecraft communication during planetary occultation events.

Strengths

• Data originates from a specific, well-defined mission: the Mars Express extended mission.
• Covers a precise 5.5-hour observation window on 2019-08-19.
• Published 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.
