Radio Science Experiments (RSEs) use radio links between spacecraft and Earth to look for changes in the frequency as well as roundtrip light time of signals to investigate geophysical phenomena and for tests of fundamental physics. BepiColombo and Juno are two space missions that will perform RSEs, thanks to a very accurate tracking: to extract the desired information, it is not sufficient to improve the precision of observations, we need also to develop accurate mathematical models making smaller the residuals, defined as the observed observables minus the computed observables. However, sometimes, even highly accurate mathematical models are not sufficient for the determination of a given parameter with the required accuracy. In this paper, after a brief summary of the mathematical models needed for top accuracy RSEs, we will present two critical cases from the simulations of the BepiColombo and Juno where also these accurate models may not be sufficient to determine some quantities with the desired accuracy.
