Following efforts to construct an accurate modelisation of Mars rotation starting from canonical equations in an Hamiltonian theoretical frame (Bouquillon and Souchay, 1996), we use recent results from radio tracking data of the Mars Pathfinder mission (Folkner et al., 1997) to modelize in the best way the motion of precession and nutation of the planet. A complete set of coefficients related to these two motions is presented, including the main effect due to the Sun and also those due to the two satellites Phobos and Deimos as well as to the planets. Morever, Oppolzer terms are calculated and included.
