MARS EXPRESS MRS: Mars Gravity Data from Extended Mission 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 time interval 2012-12 26T08:26:04.000 to 2012-12-26T11:53:52.500. It was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling the internal structure of Mars based on global gravity measurements.
• Analyzing temporal variations in Mars's gravitational field based on the specified time-series data.
• Calibrating or validating other orbital gravity datasets for Mars using this radio science data.

Strengths

• Data originates from NASA's Mars Express mission, an authoritative source for planetary science.
• The description provides a precise temporal coverage for a specific measurement: 2012-12-26T08:26:04.000 to 2012-12-26T11:53:52.500.

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.
