Scientific paper

A planet's gravitational potential field can be modeled by subdividing
the planet into pyramids, each with vertex at the center, and replacing
their anomalous masses by point masses. A model of 288 point masses is
presented whose equipotential surface fits the 18th-order GEM 10B model
geoid to within 1.3 m.
