MARS EXPRESS: Radio Science Solar Conjunction Measurements from 2023

2023-01-01 to 2023-12-31 is the extended mission phase for this Mars Express Radio Science data set. It contains Solar Conjunction measurements specifically from 2023-11-10T08:07:15.000 to 2023-11-10T09:59:45.000. The data was collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Modeling solar plasma effects on radio signals based on the Solar Conjunction measurement data
• Analyzing signal attenuation and scintillation during a specific conjunction event in November 2023
• Calibrating radio science instruments for the Mars Express mission based on extended mission phase data

Strengths

• Data covers a specific and defined Solar Conjunction event from 2023-11 10T08:07:15.000 to 2023-11-10T09:59:45.000.
• Dataset is associated with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a recognized space agency.
• The temporal coverage for the extended mission phase is explicitly stated as 2023-01-01 to 2023-12-31.

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.
