In September 2011, the GRAIL mission launched two unmanned
spacecraft to the Moon, which entered into lunar orbit on December
31, 2011 and January 1, 2012. They orbited the Moon until December
17, 2012, when they impacted the surface near the Moon's north
pole. This book contains three review articles co-authored by the
GRAIL Science Team and Guest Scientists that describe the reasons
for the GRAIL mission, the development of the necessary technology,
and the design of the mission to acquire the most precise
measurements of the lunar gravity field possible today. The book
provides a detailed description of the GRAIL mission's scientific
objectives, the instrumentation and its required performance, the
complex simulation of the measurement system for determining the
gravity field, and the innovative education and public outreach of
the mission directed toward middle-school students who could select
areas of the Moon for imaging with the onboard MoonKam camera
system. This volume is aimed at researchers and graduate students
active in solar system science and planetology. Originally
published in Space Science Reviews journal, Vol. 178/1, 2013.
