Mars Express Radio Science Gravity Measurements from 2013

Mars Express Radio Science gravity data collected by NASA during the extended mission phase from 2013-01-01 to 2014-12-31. The dataset likely contains global gravity measurements for Mars, with a specific time range from 2013-06-16T04:05:48.000 to 2013-06-16T07:08:34.500. It was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling Mars's internal structure based on global gravity measurements.
• Analyzing temporal variations in gravitational fields based on the specified time range.
• Calibrating radio science instruments for planetary missions based on the described data collection method.
• Studying planetary formation and evolution based on gravity data.

Strengths

• Data originates from a NASA mission, suggesting authoritative provenance.
• The description specifies a precise time range for a subset of the data: 2013-06-16T04:05:48.000 to 2013-06-16T07:08:34.500.
• The dataset covers a defined 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.
• The license is listed as 'other-license-specified', requiring review before use.
