MARS EXPRESS MRS: Mars Gravity Measurements from 2013

Mars Express Radio Science data collected by NASA during the extended mission phase from 2013-01-01 to 2014-12-31. The dataset contains global gravity measurements, with a specific time segment covering 2013-07-10T23:49:08.000 to 2013-07-11T02:41:19.500.

Use Cases

• Modeling the internal structure and density distribution of Mars based on global gravity measurements.
• Analyzing temporal variations in the Martian gravitational field based on the time-series nature of the radio science data.
• Calibrating or validating other orbital gravity datasets using the precise measurements from the Mars Express mission.

Strengths

• Data originates from NASA, a leading space agency.
• Covers a defined two-year mission period from 2013 to 2014.
• Provides global gravity coverage of Mars.

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.
