Mars Express Radio Science Gravity Measurements, 2010-2012

Mars Express Radio Science data collected by NASA during the extended mission from 2010-01-01 to 2012-12-31. The dataset provides Global Gravity measurements for a specific observation period on 2012-07 27. This data supports analysis of the Martian gravitational field.

Use Cases

• Modeling the Martian gravitational field based on Global Gravity measurements
• Analyzing temporal variations in gravity data from the 2010-2012 extended mission
• Correlating gravity anomalies with surface features or subsurface structures
• Calibrating or validating other Mars gravity datasets using this Radio Science data

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a primary space science authority
• Covers a defined two-year extended mission period from 2010-01-01 to 2012-12-31
• Provides a specific observation time range on 2012-07-27 for detailed analysis

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
