MARS MRS: Mars Express Radio Science Gravity Measurements, 2013-2014

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 record covering a two-hour period on 2013-01-27. It was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling the global gravity field of Mars based on radio science measurements.
• Analyzing temporal variations in Martian gravity based on time-series data collection.
• Studying the internal structure and composition of Mars based on gravity data.
• Calibrating or validating other orbital or geophysical models of Mars.

Strengths

• Data originates from NASA's Mars Express mission, a recognized authority in planetary science.
• Covers a defined two-year extended mission phase from 2013 to 2014.
• Provides a specific, timestamped measurement window for a gravity observation.

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.
• The license is listed as 'other-license-specified', requiring manual verification of terms.
