Scientific paper

Measurements of the gravity and geometry of the moon are described relative to lunar structure. Measurements pertaining to the gravity field include, Doppler tracking of spacecraft that have orbited the moon, laser ranging from the earth to the moon, and the gravity meters and accelerometers landed with the Apollo spacecraft. Measurements pertaining to the geometry include (1) those related to the shape; the metric photography and laser altimeters on Apollo 15, 16, and 17; the electromagnetic sounder on Apollo 17; the landmark tracking from earlier Apollo orbiters; and occultations, plus (2) measurements related to he orientation: the laser ranging and interferometry from the earth.
