MARS EXPRESS: Solar Conjunction Radio Science Data from Extended Mission

Mars Express Radio Science data was collected during a Solar Conjunction event on 2019-08-28. The dataset covers the extended mission phase from 2019-01-01 to 2020-12-31. It originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing signal propagation effects during a solar conjunction based on radio science measurements.
• Studying solar corona plasma properties based on Solar Conjunction measurement data.
• Investigating time-series phenomena in deep space communication based on the specified observation window.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific Solar Conjunction event with precise timestamps from 2019-08-28T01:48:33.000 to 2019-08-28T04:57:16.500.
• Dataset is associated with a defined mission phase (extended mission 2019-2020).
• Originates from the authoritative 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.
