FPU2024-Orbital observation of the Moon’s geodetic parameters from co-registration of Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) profiles
Constraints on the interior of the Moon can shed crucial insights into its formation and ultimately the evolution of the Earth-Moon system. Estimates of the Moon’s periodic surface tidal deformation and time-varying lunar orientation provide unique evidence of its inner workings. The former is especially related to the structure and rheology of the deep structure and the latter is directly tied to the Moon’s moments-of-inertia. We plan to apply innovative approaches to Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) profiles to perform independent analysis of the aforementioned geodetic parameters.
