Mars Express Phobos Gravity Measurements from Extended Mission

Mars Express Radio Science data collected during a specific observation window on December 30, 2013. The dataset likely contains Phobos gravity measurements from the spacecraft's extended mission phase between 2013 and 2014. It originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Modeling the gravitational field of Phobos based on radio science measurements
• Analyzing spacecraft orbital perturbations during a specific observation window
• Studying the internal mass distribution of a Martian moon

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
• Observation time range is precisely defined: 2013-12-30T02:29:05.000 to 2013-12-30T04:24:49.000

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
