PDS Information
Find a Node - Use these links to navigate to any of the 8 publicly accessible PDS Nodes.

This bar indicates that you are within the PDS enterprise which includes 6 science discipline nodes and 2 support nodes which are overseen by the Project Management Office at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Each node is led by an expert in the subject discipline, supported by an advisory group of other practitioners of that discipline, and subject to selection and approval under a regular NASA Research Announcement.

Clementine Gravity and Topography Data

July 5, 2023. The Clementine gravity and topography data sets have been migrated to the PDS4 standard. The original PDS3 data products, labels, and documentation remain available in their original archive volume. The only change is that PDS4 labels and documentation have been added to the archives. The original data files are unchanged. Please see geo_notes_and_errata.pdf for more information.

This archive contains gravity and topography data from the Clementine Mission to the Moon. The gravity products resulted from the processing of radio tracking data of the spacecraft, and topographic information was acquired by a laser ranging instrument (LIDAR).

Data Set Producer

The topographic data products were produced by Maria T. Zuber, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, David E. Smith, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD, and Gregory A. Neumann, John Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD. The gravity data were produced by Frank G. Lemoine, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD. The data complies with Planetary Data System standards for archival data. Please direct any questions and comments to the PDS Geosciences Node, geosci@wunder.wustl.edu.
