Mars Express Radio Science Gravity Measurements, 2010-2012

Mars Express Radio Science gravity data collected by NASA during the extended mission phase from 2010-01-01 to 2012-12-31. The dataset includes a specific global gravity measurement covering the period 2012-10-25T01:18:32.000 to 2012-10-25T05:12:02.500.

Use Cases

• Modeling the Martian gravity field based on global gravity measurements
• Analyzing temporal variations in gravity based on the specified time range
• Calibrating orbital models for spacecraft based on radio science data

Strengths

• Data originates from NASA's Mars Express mission
• Time range is precisely defined from 2012-10-25T01:18:32.000 to 2012-10-25T05:12:02.500
• Mission phase is explicitly stated as the extended mission from 2010-01-01 to 2012-12-31

Limitations

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