Summary
A series of lunar gravity analyses were carried out using unified S-band tracking network data obtained from Apollos 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15. The progress obtained to date is summarized as it relates to the estimation of lunar mass distributions and their geologic interpretation. The analyses reported are of two distinct types. The first type consists of data obtained at two ranges of altitude to estimate the total mass associated with various lunar features employing a point mass assumption. The second type consists of detailed analyses of Apollo 14 tracking data.
