Scientific paper

Current knowledge of the internal structures of Mercury, Venus, the earth, the moon, and Mars is surveyed and illustrated with diagrams, maps, and tables of numerical data. Topics discussed include the history of ground-based and space observations, the use of the internal-density-contrast indicator for estimating internal-layer thickness and consistency, the detection of seismic events, magnetic-field measurements, and gravimetric and topographic mapping techniques. Additional orbiter missions using quasi-polar quasi-circular low-altitude (200-km) orbits to obtain complete coverage with high sensitivity to differences in surface elevation are proposed.
