Summary of the results from the lunar orbiter laser altimeter after seven years in lunar orbit (2017, background): “The twin GRAIL spacecraft acquired accurate satellite-to-satellite range-rate data (0.03-0.05 μm/s precision over 1-2 s), which ultimately yielded an unprecedented resolution measure of the lunar gravity field (Zuber et al., 2013b; Konopliv et al., 2013; 2014; Lemoine et al., 2013; 2014).”
Precession of Mercury’s Perihelion from Ranging to the MESSENGER Spacecraft (2017, methodology): “…of Earth and Moon were derived from planetary and lunar laser ranging (Folkner et al. 2014), which are compatible with results from satellite laser ranging of LAGEOS (Ries et al. 1992) and radio tracking of the GRAIL spacecraft (Konopliv et al. 2013; Lemoine et al. 2013; Williams et al. 2014).”
Gravity and Topography of the Terrestrial Planets (2015, background): “…et al., 2006), Callisto (Anderson et al., 2001b), Rhea (Anderson and Schubert, 2010), Titan (Iess et al., 2010; Lorenz et al., 2013), and Vesta (Konopliv et al., 2013a)), this chapter will focus on those planetary bodies for which the gravity and topography are both characterized to high…”
