Radio Science

The PDS Geosciences Node archives radio science data from missions to Mars, Mercury, Venus, and Earth's Moon. Below is a list of all our radio science data holdings. Spherical harmonics models and gravity maps derived from radio science data are found on the Gravity Models page.

The radio science documentation bundle contains documents that are likely to be referenced in PDS4 radio science archives. See readme.txt for more information.

The mission-independent DSN files bundle contains three collections: Earth Orientation Parameter (EOP) products, tropospheric calibration (TRO) files, and DSN meteorological data (WEA) files. These files may be used to calibrate radio science data acquired from any spacecraft or mission. See readme.txt for more information.
