Fin des années 1950, sous l'initiative de R.H. Dicke, la mesure télémétrique Terre-Lune fut initialement pensée pour tester la théorie de la Relativité Générale (RG) au travers de la variation de la constante gravitationnelle et du principe de Mach. Plus tard, K. Nordtvedt démontra qu'une telle expérience permettrait également de tester...

Seismological models from Apollo missions provided the first records of the Moon inner structure with a decrease in seismic wave velocities at the core–mantle boundary1,2,3. The resolution of these records prevents a strict detection of a putative lunar solid inner core and the impact of the lunar mantle overturn in the lowest part of the Moon...

Lunar laser ranging (LLR) data and Apollo seismic data analyses, revealed independent evidence for the presence of a fluid lunar core. However, the size of the lunar fluid core remained uncertain by $\pm55$ km (encompassing two contrasting 2011 Apollo seismic data analyses). Here we show that a new description of the lunar interior's dynamical...

The Moon is the most well-known extraterrestrial planetary body thanks to observations from ground-based, space-borne instruments and lunar surface missions. Data from Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR), magnetic, gravity, surface observations and seismic Apollo ground stations help us to quantify the deformation undergone by the Moon due to body tides....
