Abstract
- Laser altimetry of the Moon is now under investigation as a part of the RISE project in the Moon-Orbiting exploration (SELENE; SELenological and ENgineering Explorer) by Japan in 2002–2003. Main objective of this measurement is to construct a precise and global topography of the moon with the 5m vertical resolution and with a center-to-center along-track footprint spacing of 330m. The topography will be a great contribution for addressing several problems of lunar geology and geophysics such as morphological dichotomy, internal structure, isostatic state, and various surface modification processes of the moon.
