MARS EXPRESS MRS: Mars Global Gravity Data from 2015

MARS EXPRESS MRS 1/2/3 EXTENDED MISSION 5 3684 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 2015-01-01 and 2016-12 31, with a specific record covering 2015-01-12T07:05:03.000 to 2015-01-12T10:31:54.500.

Use Cases

• Modeling the Martian gravity field based on radio science measurements.
• Analyzing temporal variations in gravity data collected during the extended mission.
• Calibrating or validating other Mars orbital datasets with precise gravity information.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a recognized space agency.
• Covers a defined time range from 2015-01-01 to 2016-12-31.
• Provides a specific, precise measurement interval for a sample record.

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.
