Mars Express Radio Science Gravity Measurements, 2010-2012

Global gravity measurements collected by the Mars Express spacecraft's Radio Science instrument during its extended mission phase from 2010-01-01 to 2012-12-31. The data covers a specific observation period from 2012-08-24T09:11:02.000 to 2012-08-24T11:59:43.500. This dataset is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Modeling Mars's crustal thickness based on global gravity measurements
• Analyzing temporal variations in Mars's gravitational field based on the specified observation period
• Calibrating orbital models for spacecraft based on radio science gravity data

Strengths

• Data covers a defined extended mission phase from 2010-01-01 to 2012-12-31
• Provides a precise observation window from 2012-08-24T09:11:02.000 to 2012-08-24T11:59:43.500

Limitations

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