Mars Express Radio Science Gravity Measurements from 2012

Mars Express Radio Science data collected by NASA from 2010-01-01 to 2012-12-31. The dataset provides global gravity measurements for Mars, with a specific time record from 2012-06 28T07:27:15.000 to 2012-06-28T09:45:25.500.

Use Cases

• Modeling the Martian gravity field based on radio science measurements.
• Analyzing temporal variations in gravity data collected during the extended mission phase.
• Studying planetary interior structure based on global gravity coverage.
• Calibrating or validating other Mars orbital datasets with precise gravity data.

Strengths

• Data collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a defined mission period from 2010-01-01 to 2012-12-31.
• Provides a specific, high-precision time record for gravity measurements.

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.
