Data Set Abstract This data set contains archival results from radio science investigations conducted during the MESSENGER mission. Radio measurements were made using the MESSENGER spacecraft and Earth-based stations of the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN). The data set includes three products: 1) high-resolution spherical harmonic models of Mercury's gravity field. These results were derived from raw radio tracking data; 2) measurements of Mercury's radius at several locations around the planet. These radii are derived from radio occultations; and 3) spherical harmonic models of Mercury's surface shape. Both Mercury Laser Altimeter (MLA) data and occultation data were used to generate the shape models. The investigations were conducted by personnel at JHU/APL, GSFC, and JPL.
