MARS EXPRESS: Solar Conjunction Radio Science Measurements from 2023

MARS EXPRESS Radio Science data set was collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration during the extended mission phase from 2023-01-01 to 2023-12-31. It contains Solar Conjunction measurements covering a specific observation window from 2023-12-02T22:55:26.000 to 2023-12-03T07:19:45.000. The dataset was last updated on 2026-03-13.

Use Cases

• Analyze signal propagation effects during solar conjunction based on the described measurement type.
• Study atmospheric properties of Mars based on radio science data collected by the Mars Express orbiter.
• Validate models of solar interference on spacecraft communications based on the specified time range.
• Correlate radio science observations with other Mars mission data based on the extended mission phase context.

Strengths

• Data originates from a specific, high-profile mission: Mars Express.
• Time range is precisely defined: 2023-12-02T22:55:26.000 to 2023-12-03T07:19:45.000.
• Collection period is explicitly stated: extended mission phase 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.
