Abstract

Laser altimetry is the main source of information to improve planetary topography. However, it is also possible to use it in the form of crossovers to significantly improve the spacecraft orbit and infer geophysical properties. In this study we will present our latest results on modeling BELA instrument in flight and the potential improvement of MPO orbit. The impact of using altimetry crossovers on Mercury geophysical parameters is one of the final goals of this study and will be the object of future talks....
