Scientific paper

Detailed results on internal mass distribution have been obtained via earth-based Doppler radio tracking of deep space probes in the case of Mars, the earth's moon, Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter. Global gravity fields show close correlation with topography in the case of the moon and Mars, as data from orbiting spacecraft indicate. Some data are available on Jovian satellites. The gravity measuring instrumentation and data reduction techniques are described. Gravity profiles referable to lunar frontside mascons, craters, and mountain chains have been acquired from low-altitude (15-20 km) orbit surveys. Theoretically based cross sections through the moon and Jupiter are presented.
