Scientific paper

Measurements of the lunar gravitational field and relief along the Apollo 15 trajectory were analyzed, and it was found that isostatic compensation of the relief on the near side of the moon is satisfied by a harmonic of low order. The compensation level has a depth of 100-150 km. Analysis of lunar seismic experimental data yields depth ranges for three different densities. The thickness of the lunar crust with a density of 2.9 g/cu cm varies from 50 to 150 km.
