MARS EXPRESS: Solar Conjunction Radio Science Data from 2023

MARS EXPRESS Sun MRS 1/2/3 EXTENDED MISSION 8 4405 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, covering a specific time window on 2023-12-23. The dataset was last updated on the platform in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing solar plasma density based on radio signal measurements during solar conjunction.
• Studying signal propagation effects for deep-space communication based on the radio science data.
• Modeling solar corona influence on spacecraft signals based on the conjunction event data.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a specific, documented time range from 2023-12-23T00:41:31.000 to 2023-12-23T06:07:22.000.
• Part of a defined extended mission phase from 2023-01-01 to 2023-12 31.

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.
