The Apollo 15 mission provided reliable data on the depths of maria Serenitatis and Smythii. Using the present depth values and the excess masses of the associated mascons of these maria together with the ages of their final fillings the average viscosity of the upper part of the lunar interior is determined for the mare formation period (from 3.8 to 3.3 b.y. ago) and the period after mare formation (since 3.3 b.y. ago). It is found that the lower limit of the average viscosity within the first period is about 1025 poise and within the second period is about 8 × 1026 poise.
