Mars Express Radio Science Gravity Measurements from Extended Mission

Mars Express Radio Science data collected by NASA from 2013-01-18T08:50:35.000 to 2013-01-18T11:25:18.500. This dataset likely contains global gravity measurements for Mars, gathered during the extended mission phase from 2013-01-01 to 2014-12-31.

Use Cases

• Modeling Mars's internal mass distribution based on gravity measurements
• Analyzing temporal variations in Mars's gravitational field
• Calibrating orbital models for spacecraft based on radio science data

Strengths

• Data covers a specific, high-precision time window of approximately 2.75 hours
• Dataset is part of a defined extended mission phase spanning two years

Limitations

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