This paper presents the results to date of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) effort at analyzing the tracking data from the five Lunar Orbiter spacecraft. Emphasis is placed on the long-arc evaluation, to which most of the work was directed, rather than on the mascon analysis, which will be reported separately. The model of the Moon's gravity field that has been derived from the long-arc analysis is interpreted in terms of the Moon's mass distribution. The results are evaluated from the point of view of consistency and of statistical significance. In particular, the various factors contributing to the uncertainty in the estimation process are discussed.
