MARS EXPRESS PHOBOS MRS: Phobos Gravity Measurements from 2013

A 2013-12-29T01:30:06 to 2013-12-29T11:25:56.000 time series of Mars Express Radio Science data. The dataset contains Phobos gravity measurements collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration during the extended mission phase from 2013-01-01 to 2014-12-31.

Use Cases

• Modeling the gravitational field of Phobos based on radio science measurements.
• Analyzing the internal mass distribution of Phobos based on gravity data.
• Calibrating orbital dynamics models for the Mars Express spacecraft based on extended mission data.

Strengths

• Data collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a specific 10-hour observation period on 2013-12-29.
• Part of a defined extended mission phase from 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.
