TL;DR: The Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) as discussed by the authors is an instrument on the payload of NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft (LRO) which is designed to measure the shape of the Moon by measuring precisely the range from the spacecraft to the lunar surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gravity field of the Moon from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission.
Maria T. Zuber,David E. Smith,Michael Watkins,Sami W. Asmar,Alexander S. Konopliv,Frank G. Lemoine,H. Jay Melosh,Gregory A. Neumann,Roger J. Phillips,Sean C. Solomon,Sean C. Solomon,Mark A. Wieczorek,James G. Williams,Sander Goossens,Gerhard Kruizinga,Erwan Mazarico,Ryan S. Park,Dah-Ning Yuan +17 more
TL;DR: The Moon's gravity field reveals that impacts have homogenized the density of the crust and fractured it extensively, and GRAIL elucidates the role of impact bombardment in homogenizing the distribution of shallow density anomalies on terrestrial planetary bodies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Initial observations from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA)
David E. Smith,David E. Smith,Maria T. Zuber,Gregory A. Neumann,Frank G. Lemoine,Erwan Mazarico,Mark H. Torrence,Jan F. McGarry,David D. Rowlands,James W. Head,Thomas H. Duxbury,Oded Aharonson,Paul G. Lucey,Mark S. Robinson,Olivier S. Barnouin,John F. Cavanaugh,Xiaoli Sun,Peter Liiva,D. Mao,James C. Smith,Arlin E. Bartels +20 more
TL;DR: LOLA's initial global data sets as well as the first high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) of polar topography are described in this article, where LOLA has also provided the highest resolution global maps yet produced of slopes, roughness and the 1064-nm reflectance of the lunar surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
A New Lunar Digital Elevation Model from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter and SELENE Terrain Camera
Michael K. Barker,Erwan Mazarico,Gregory A. Neumann,Maria T. Zuber,Junichi Haruyama,David E. Smith +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an improved digital elevation model (DEM) covering latitudes within ±60°, at a horizontal resolution of 512 pixels per degree (∼60 m at the equator) and a typical vertical accuracy ∼3 to 4 m.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gravity Field and Internal Structure of Mercury from MESSENGER
David E. Smith,Maria T. Zuber,Roger J. Phillips,Sean C. Solomon,Steven A. Hauck,Frank G. Lemoine,Erwan Mazarico,Erwan Mazarico,Gregory A. Neumann,Stanton J. Peale,Jean-Luc Margot,Catherine L. Johnson,Catherine L. Johnson,Mark H. Torrence,Mark E. Perry,David D. Rowlands,Sander Goossens,James W. Head,A. Taylor +18 more
TL;DR: The results point to an interior structure that differs from those of the other terrestrial planets: the density of the planet's solid outer shell suggests the existence of a deep reservoir of high-density material, possibly an Fe-S layer.
