MARS EXPRESS MRS: Mars Global Gravity Measurements from 2013

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, with a specific time slice from 2013-01-11T08:50:26.000 to 2013-01-11T11:09:25.500. It 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 from the specified 2013 time window.
• Correlating gravity anomalies with other Martian geological and topographical datasets.
• Validating or improving models of the Martian crust and lithosphere.

Strengths

• Data originates from the NASA Mars Express mission, a recognized space agency.
• Covers a defined global measurement period from 2013-01-01 to 2014-12-31.
• Provides a precise timestamp for a specific gravity measurement event in January 2013.

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.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
