The Mars Environmental Survey (MESUR) project has been established to deliver and emplace a network of small landers on Mars. A key requisite for this mission is the development of a low cost, simple, robust delivery system for payloads to the Martian surface.
This data set provides global gravity coverage directly for the nearside and indirectly for the farside. The gravity field will be evaluated by comparing resolution of surface fearture with prevoius existing gravity fields such as the field determined ty Bills and Ferrari (1980) and also by prediction of the Apollo 16 subsatellite crash.
