| Data Set Abstract |
This data set contains archival raw, partially processed, and
ancillary/supporting radio science data acquired during the
Extended Mission (EXT) phase of the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS)
mission. The radio observations were carried out using the MGS
spacecraft and Earth-based receiving stations of the NASA Deep
Space Network (DSN). The observations were designed to test
the spacecraft radio system, the DSN ground system, and MGS
operations procedures; to be used in generating high-resolution
gravity field models of Mars; and for estimating density and
structure of the Mars atmosphere. Of most interest are likely
to be the Orbit Data File and Radio Science Receiver files, in
the ODF and RSR directories, respectively, which provided the
raw input to gravity and atmospheric investigations. The EXT
phase began on 1 February 2001. Data were organized in
approximately chronological order and delivered on a set of
several hundred CD volumes at the rate of 2-3 CD's per week
or DVD volumes at the rate of about 2 per month. Typical
volume of a one-day ODF was 300-400 kB. Typical volume of an
RSR was 5-10 MB, and there could be 0-30 RSR's per day depending
on DSN schedules and observing geometry. |
