Mars geodesy, rotation and gravity

Dehant, Veronique; Rosenblatt, Pascal

This review provides explanations of how geodesy, rotation and gravity can be addressed using radioscience data of an orbiter around a planet or of the lander on its surface. The planet Mars is the center of the discussion. The information one can get from orbitography and radioscience in general concerns the global static gravitational field, the…

Geology of Mars after the first 40 years of exploration
