Analysis and interpretation of the lunar gravity measurements obtained from Apollo 15 Doppler radio tracking data. The extent of surface coverage was limited to the trajectory paths of the command and service module during revolutions 3 through 11, when it was at a relatively low periapsis altitude just prior to undocking with the lunar module. The trajectory was close to the most optimal for study of the details of the Serenitatis and Crisium mascons. The periapsis altitude was about 12 km at the center of Mare Serenitatis, one of the largest mascons, and the one in the most favorable viewing geometry. The results obtained strengthen Booker's (1970) contention that all mascons have approximately the same thickness.
