Mars Express MRS Extended Mission: Global Gravity Measurements from 2012

A Mars Express Radio Science dataset collected during the extended mission phase from 2010-01-01 to 2012-12 31. It contains Global Gravity measurements for a specific time interval on 2012-08-05. The dataset was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and last updated on 2026-03-13.

Use Cases

• Modeling the Martian gravity field based on radio science measurements.
• Analyzing temporal variations in gravity data collected during a specific 2012 time interval.
• Studying planetary interior structure using Global Gravity data from the Mars Express mission.

Strengths

• Data covers a defined extended mission period from 2010-01-01 to 2012-12-31.
• Provides a specific measurement time range from 2012-08-05T03:31:55.000 to 2012-08-05T05:52:22.500.
• Produced by the authoritative source National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

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.
