MEX SPICAM: Mars Ultraviolet Spectrometer Measurements

Mars Express spacecraft SPICAM instrument ultraviolet spectrometer measurements collected during the MARS mission phase. The dataset contains level 1A data with corrections and processing applied. National Aeronautics and Space Administration produced the dataset, which was last updated on March 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze Mars atmospheric composition based on ultraviolet spectral measurements
• Study temporal variations in Martian UV phenomena based on mission-phase observations
• Validate atmospheric models based on processed spectrometer data
• Correlate UV observations with other Martian environmental data

Strengths

• Data is processed to level 1A, indicating corrections have been applied
• Dataset originates from the authoritative National Aeronautics and Space Administration
• Last update date of March 13, 2026 is provided

Limitations

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