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

Mars Express Radio Science data collected by NASA from 2013-09-22 to 2013-09 23. This dataset provides global gravity measurements for Mars, captured during the spacecraft's extended mission phase from 2013-01-01 to 2014-12-31. The data was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling the internal structure of Mars based on global gravity measurements.
• Analyzing temporal variations in Mars's gravitational field from the specified time range.
• Calibrating or validating other orbital gravity datasets using this Radio Science data.
• Studying Martian crustal and lithospheric thickness from gravity anomaly maps.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific, documented time range from 2013-09-22T23:54:22.000 to 2013-09-23T01:39:17.500.
• Originates from the authoritative NASA Mars Express mission.
• Focuses on a specific scientific measurement type: global gravity.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
