MARS EXPRESS: Solar Conjunction Radio Science Data from 2021

MARS EXPRESS SUN MRS 1/2/3 EXTENDED MISSION 8 4226 V1.0 is a Mars Express Radio Science data set collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It contains Solar Conjunction measurements from the extended mission phase between 2021-01-01 and 2022-12-31, with a specific observation time from 2021-09 21T03:28:33.000 to 2021-09-21T06:49:25.500. The dataset was last updated on the platform in 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing signal propagation effects during solar conjunction based on the described radio science measurements.
• Studying temporal variations in spacecraft telemetry based on the specified time-series nature of the data.
• Modeling solar plasma influence on radio signals based on the Solar Conjunction measurement context.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a recognized authority.
• Covers a defined observation period from 2021-09-21T03:28:33.000 to 2021-09-21T06:49:25.500.
• Platform metadata includes specific mission phase dates (2021-01-01 to 2022-12-31).

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.
