Mathematical Gravity Modeling Advancement (MaGMA)

The vendor shall develop more realistic planetary models based on previous work provided by NGA. These models will be composed of layers, mass elements, and triangulations that allow for spatial and radial density variations. Furthermore, the planetary models will incorporate these components in such a way that they allow for finer resolution in regions of interest (i.e. irregular triangulations and inhomogeneous mass element distributions). While at least one of these models will be a model of the Earth the others may be fictitious planets for testing/research purposes and/or other planetary bodies of interest (e.g. the Moon and Bennu).
