The Apollo 17 ALSE (Apollo Lunar Sounder Experiment) VHF radar provided imagery and continuous profiling data around the moon during two revolutions. The imagery data are used to derive depth and diameter measurements of small craters (diameters less than 30 km). The profiling data are used to study the topography of a few large craters: the bulged floors in Hevelius, Neper, and Aitken; central peaks in Neper and Buisson; and the depressed floor of Maraldi. The same data provided accurate (better than 25 m) profiles of Mare Crisium and Mare Serenitatis.
