A global lunar topographic map is derived from earth-based and orbital observations supplemented in areas without data by a linear autocovariance predictor. A series of models of the lunar interior are derived from topographic, gravitational, librational, and seismic data. A model of Martian global topography is obtained by fitting a spherical harmonic series of degree 16 to occultation, radar, spectral and photogrammetric measurements. It is shown that the topographic variance spectra of the Earth, Moon, Mars and Venus are all very similar.
