Scientific paper

A new model of Mars gravity field in spherical harmonics up to eighteenth degree and order was computed from all available Doppler tracking data of Mariner 9 and Viking 1 and 2 orbiters. It represents an achievement in the knowledge of Mars global gravitational potential since no more data will be availble for such a derivation before the next mission to the planet. The model was extensively tested from the point of view of orbit representation over periods of time ranging from a few hours to twelve days, and is currently used for geophysical studies of the Martian lithosphere.
