Research on the recovery of the lunar gravity from simulant orbit perturbation data
2009
Research on the lunar gravity field helps us to understand its physical characteristics and its inner structure and discern
its origin and evolvement. Detecting the lunar gravity field helps to improve the precision of calculating geodetic and
geodynamic constant, refining lunar coordinate system, and understanding the evolving history and the geologic
structure of the moon. The determining of the lunar gravity field provides us with useful data for studying the lunar geoid
and gravity anomaly. The lunar gravity field restricts the motion of all the other objects. Detectors changing its orbit from
the earth orbit into the moon orbit and landing are mainly influenced by the lunar gravity. Accurate lunar gravity field
model is the prerequisite of landing accurately and one of the key factors to succeed in the plan of manned landing on the
moon.
