Crust and Martian lithosphere M. Wieczoreck , V. Belleguic, P. van Thienen et P. Lognonné
Science objectives Crustal formation,evolution, impact and volcanic comparative tectonics Propagation of seismic waves in the Martian crust.
Data: MGS ( gravimetry, altimetry) results:
Crustal thickness. Estimation of the fraction of primary crust in the southern hemisphere Estimation of the thickness of the elastic lithosphere and of the density of volcanoes

Lunar crust and Mantle A.Khan, J. Gagnepain, P. Lognonné, H.Chenet ( ISAS, Japan) Science objectives:
Crustal thickness Mineralogical and temperature composition of the mantle.
Data: Apollo, LP ( gravimetry, altimetry) Results:
