MARS EXPRESS MRS: Global Gravity Measurements from Extended Mission 2010-2012

Mars Express Radio Science data collected during the extended mission phase from 2010-01-01 to 2012-12-31. The dataset provides Global Gravity measurements for a specific time interval on 2012-10 14T06:44:04.000 to 2012-10-14T11:15:28.500. It originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was last updated on the platform in 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 orbital pass.
• Studying the interior structure of Mars using precise gravity observations.
• Calibrating or validating other Mars gravity datasets with this specific time-series data.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a defined extended mission period from 2010-01-01 to 2012-12-31.
• Provides a specific, high-precision time range for gravity measurements on 2012-10-14.

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.
