Mars Express Phobos Gravity Measurements from 2013-12-28 to 2013-12-29

2013-12 28T18:00:15.000 to 2013-12-29T00:27:25.500 is the time range covered by this Mars Express Radio Science data set. It contains Phobos gravity measurements collected during the extended mission phase from 2013-01-01 to 2014-12-31. The dataset was published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Modeling the gravitational field of Phobos based on radio science measurements.
• Analyzing the internal mass distribution of Phobos based on gravity data.
• Studying spacecraft orbital dynamics during a Phobos flyby based on the described time range.
• Calibrating or validating other remote sensing data of Phobos based on the gravity measurement context.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a primary space science authority.
• Covers a specific, high-precision observation window from 2013-12-28T18:00:15.000 to 2013-12-29T00:27:25.500.
• Part of a defined extended mission phase spanning 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.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
