The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Gravity and Topography of the Terrestrial Planets (2015, background): “The orbital motion of the spacecraft, combined with the 28 Hz repetition frequency, ensures that each five-spot pattern is repeated every 50 m. Bidirectional surface slopes can be calculated for each laser shot or for a variety of longer baselines (Rosenburg et al., 2011).”

Crater degradation on the lunar maria: Topographic diffusion and the rate of erosion on the Moon (2014, background): “For more than 40 years, crater degradation has been hypothesized to predominantly result from the cumulative effects of small later impacts [e.g., Ross, 1968; Soderblom, 1970; Soderblom and Lebofsky, 1972].”
