New Data on Lunar Topography Derived from Galileo and Clementine Stereo Images

Kurzfassung

We analyzed images, obtained by the Galileo and Clementine spacecraft in 1992 and 1994 using state-of-the-art photogrammetric techniques to derive Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) for selected lunar regions. These regions include: the near-side northern hemisphere, parts of Mare Orientale, and the Alpine Valley. The new topographic data allow us to study the morphology of the Moon, in particular large craters and the multi-ring impact basins in unprecedented detail.
