Mars Express Radio Science Gravity Measurements from 2012

Mars Express Radio Science gravity data collected during the extended mission phase from 2010-01-01 to 2012-12-31. The specific measurement covers the time period 2012-09-07T08:23:55.000 to 2012-09-07T11:07:19.500. This dataset is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Modeling Mars's global gravity field based on radio science measurements
• Analyzing temporal variations in gravitational data collected over a specific observation window
• Correlating gravity anomalies with Martian geological features mentioned in the description
• Validating gravitational models for Mars using spacecraft-derived data

Strengths

• Data covers a specific observation window of approximately 2 hours and 43 minutes on 2012-09-07
• Dataset is part of a defined mission phase spanning three years from 2010 to 2012
• Provided by a recognized space agency, 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
