MARS EXPRESS MRS: Mars Gravity Measurements from 2013-2014 Extended Mission

Global gravity measurements for Mars collected by the Mars Express Radio Science instrument between 2013-01-03T00:45:08.000 and 2013-01-03T03:17:14.500. The data set was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and covers the extended mission phase from 2013-01-01 to 2014-12-31. It was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling the internal structure of Mars based on global gravity data.
• Analyzing temporal variations in the Martian gravitational field from the specified time range.
• Calibrating or validating other orbital gravity data sets for Mars.
• Studying the dynamics of the Mars Express spacecraft orbit using radio science measurements.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific two-year extended mission phase from 2013 to 2014.
• Provides a precise time range for the gravity measurement session.
• Originates from the authoritative source 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.
• The description is limited to a single measurement session, suggesting the full data set's scope may require further inspection.
