Mars Express Radio Science Gravity Data from 2013-2014 Extended Mission

Mars Express Radio Science data collected by NASA during the extended mission phase from 2013-01-01 to 2014-12-31. The dataset provides global gravity measurements for Mars, with a specific time coverage from 2013-02-03T09:08:21.000 to 2013 02-03T11:01:09.500.

Use Cases

• Modeling the Martian gravity field based on radio science measurements.
• Analyzing temporal variations in gravity data collected during the specified mission phase.
• Studying planetary interior structure using global gravity data.
• Calibrating or validating other Mars orbital datasets with precise gravity information.

Strengths

• Data originates from the NASA Mars Express mission, a recognized space agency.
• Covers a defined two-year extended mission period from 2013 to 2014.
• Provides a specific, precise timestamp for a gravity measurement event.

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.
