MARS EXPRESS MRS: Mars Gravity Data from Extended Mission 2013-2014

Mars Express Radio Science data provides Global Gravity measurements for Mars. The dataset covers a specific observation period from 2013-01-28T08:56:32.000 to 2013-01 28T10:56:44.500, collected during the extended mission phase from 2013-01-01 to 2014-12-31. It originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Use Cases

• Modeling the Martian gravity field based on radio science measurements.
• Analyzing temporal variations in gravity data collected during a specific observation window.
• Studying planetary interior structure based on global gravity data.
• Calibrating or validating other Mars mission datasets using this radio science data.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative source National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a defined two-year extended mission phase from 2013-01-01 to 2014-12-31.
• Provides a specific, high-precision observation time range for a gravity measurement.

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.
