MARS EXPRESS: Solar Conjunction Radio Science Measurements from 2023

A Mars Express Radio Science data set collected during the extended mission phase from 2023-01-01 to 2023-12-31. It contains Solar Conjunction measurements covering the specific time interval 2023-11-26T07:14:01.000 to 2023-11-26T09:54:04.000. The data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was last updated on the platform in 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing signal attenuation and noise during solar conjunction events based on the radio science measurement type.
• Studying the solar corona's effect on radio waves based on the solar conjunction data.
• Modeling spacecraft communication link performance under solar interference based on the time-series measurement data.
• Calibrating radio science instruments for future Mars missions based on the Mars Express platform data.

Strengths

• Data covers a precisely defined 2-hour and 40-minute observation window on 2023-11 26.
• Originates from the authoritative source National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Temporal coverage for the extended mission is explicitly stated as the full year 2023.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
