Detrended Topographic Data of the South-pole Aitken Basin (SPA): Comparisons with Apollo 16 and Schiller-Schickard as Indications of the Formation and Evolution of the Spa Interior
Data from recent lunar orbital missions have provided critical insight into the surface composition, morphology, and geologic history of the Moon. A key region that has benefited from this new data is the South Pole-Aitken Basin (SPA), a key area for future sample return]. A key area of investigatio...
