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

Mars Express Radio Science gravity data was collected by NASA during the spacecraft's extended mission phase from 2013-01-01 to 2014-12 31. The specific measurements cover the time period 2013-06-28T03:41:22.000 to 2013-06-28T05:53:29.500. This dataset is part of the MARS EXPRESS MRS 1/2/3 EXTENDED MISSION 4 series.

Use Cases

• Modeling the internal structure of Mars based on global gravity measurements.
• Analyzing temporal variations in Mars's gravity field based on the specified time range.
• Calibrating or validating other orbital gravity datasets using the radio science method.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative NASA Mars Express mission.
• Covers a defined extended mission period from 2013-01-01 to 2014-12-31.
• Provides a specific, high-precision measurement window for detailed analysis.

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.
