文摘

LOLA acquired nearly 7 billion altimetric measurements of the Moon. The LOLA-defined shape and reference frame enables accurate (<10 m) geolocation globally. The LOLA datasets, including topography, slope, roughness, and reflectance, support geological studies of the lunar crust. The high-resolution polar LOLA maps identified areas in permanent shadow and enable accurate illumination modeling. Active and passive radiometry data were analyzed to inform surface composition and volatile distribution.
