The estimation of local gravity anomalies represented by point masses using gravity gradiometer and satellite to satellite tracking data is discussed. A simulation analysis has been performed to study the recovery of local gravity anomalies from both rotating single axis gravity gradiometer and satellite to satellite tracking measurements. A Lunar Polar Orbiter mission concept is adopted for the orbits and data links. The sensitivity of the gravity determination to data noise, mass point spatial distribution (model errors), unmodelled gravity (gravity anomalies outside the area of interest), and orbit errors is studied. Figure of merit for the comparison is the rms error of radial acceleration.
