The gravity field, orientation, and ephemeris of Mercury from MESSENGER observations after three years in orbit

We have analyzed 3 years of radio tracking data from the MESSENGER spacecraft in orbit around Mercury and determined the gravity field, planetary orientation, and ephemeris of the innermost planet. With improvements in spatial coverage, force modeling, and data weighting, we refined an earlier globa...
