Physics

Scientific paper

The laser altimeter on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft has been obtaining elevation, slope, and surface roughness observations of the Moon for over two years. Although the instrument is turned off within approximately 1 km of some of the Apollo sites, due to the presence of laser retro-reflectors that can damage the LOLA detectors, the observations in the vicinity provide scientific data on the local region around each of the landing sites.
