Data Set Abstract |
This data set contains archival results from radio science
investigations conducted during the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS)
mission. Radio measurements were made using the MGS spacecraft
and Earth-based stations of the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN).
The data set includes high-resolution spherical harmonic models
of Mars' gravity field generated by groups at the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory and Goddard Space Flight Center, covariance matrices
for some models, and maps for some models; these results were
derived from raw radio tracking data. Also included are profiles
of atmospheric temperature and pressure and ionospheric electron
density, derived from phase measurements collected during radio
occultations. The data set also includes analyses of transient
surface echoes observed close to occultations during the first
few years of MGS operations and a single set of power spectra
acquired during a quasi-specular bistatic radar experiment in
2000. The atmospheric and surface investigations were conducted
by Radio Science Team members at Stanford University. The data
set also includes 93 line-of-sight acceleration profiles derived
at JPL from radio tracking data collected near periapsis while
Mars Global Surveyor was in its Science Phasing Orbit and below
its nominal Mapping altitude of 400 km. The data were delivered
to PDS in approximately chronological order at the rate of one
CD-WO volume (typically 100 MB) every three months. |
