MARS EXPRESS MRS: Mars Gravity Measurements from Extended Mission

Global gravity data collected by the Mars Express spacecraft's Radio Science instrument between 2013-01-16T08:25:21.000 and 2013-01-16T11:24:25.500. The dataset was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and covers the extended mission phase from 2013-01-01 to 2014-12-31.

Use Cases

• Modeling Mars's crustal thickness based on gravity anomalies
• Analyzing temporal variations in gravitational field strength
• Calibrating orbital models for spacecraft based on precise gravity measurements

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 3-hour period with precise start and end timestamps
• Dataset is part of a defined extended mission phase from 2013-01-01 to 2014-12-31

Limitations

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