LRO: Radio Science (RS)

June 30, 2025. LRO Radio Science TRK data have been migrated to the PDS4 standard.

June 13, 2025.
LRO Release 62 includes new SPK data for mission phases LRO_ES_129 through LRO_ES_147 and TRK data for mission phases LRO_ES_109 through LRO_ES_144. Both PDS3 and PDS4 labels are included for all new data. See release_notes.txt for details.

This archive contains a collection of LRO Radio Science (RS) data and documentation generated by various elements of the DSN, the LRO Project, the Radio Science Team (RST), and others. Radio Science data consist of tracking data and secondary files such as weather, laser ranging, and small forces data that are used to analyze the primary data. The Radio Science Team is a subunit of the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) team.

Radio Science Data Sets

Bundle Root
RANGE One-way laser ranging data, subdivided by mission subphase
SFF Small forces files
SPK (PDS4) Geodyn trajectory files, which are monthly orbit reconstructions in NAIF SPK format, derived from the raw RS data and used for geolocation of LOLA data
TRK (PDS4) Tracking data from ground stations, subdivided by mission subphase and then by day
WEA Weather data from ground stations, subdivided by mission subphase and then by day
