Mars Express Radio Science Gravity Data from 2013 Extended Mission

MARS EXPRESS MRS 1/2/3 EXTENDED MISSION 4 3587 V1.0 is a Mars Express Radio Science data set collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It contains Global Gravity measurements from the extended mission phase between 2013-01-01 and 2014-12 31. The specific data record covers the time interval from 2013-06-13T00:14:04.000 to 2013-06-13T02:59:30.500.

Use Cases

• Modeling the Martian gravity field based on radio science measurements.
• Analyzing temporal variations in gravity data collected during a specific orbital pass.
• Studying the internal structure of Mars based on global gravity data.
• Calibrating or validating other planetary geophysical models with radio science data.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a primary space agency.
• Covers a specific, documented time range from 2013-06-13T00:14:04.000 to 2013-06-13T02:59:30.500.
• 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.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
