LRO MOON RADIO SCIENCE RAW TRACKING DATA V1.0

Published by National Aeronautics and Space Administration | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: July 18, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-07-17

This data set contains archival raw, partially processed, and ancillary/supporting radio science data acquired during the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission. The radio observations were carried out using the LRO spacecraft and Earth-based stations of the commercial Universal Space Network (USN), the Ka-band ground station at White Sands, New Mexico (WS1), and the Next Generation Satellite Laser Ranging station in Greenbelt, Maryland (NGSLR). Additional data were provided by the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN) during commissioning. Ongoing participation by the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) network of stations provides further LR data that are processed by the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) Science Operations Center (SOC). Of most interest are likely to be the Tracking Data Files in the TRK directory.
