Scientific paper

A new model of Mars gravity field in spherical harmonics up to eighteenth degree and order has been computed from all available Doppler tracking data on 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 available for such a derivation before the next mission to the planet. The model has been extensively tested from the point of view of orbit representation over periods of time ranging from a few hours to 12 days, and it is currently used for geophysical studies of the Martian lithosphere.
