    • APOLLO 17 TRAVERSE GRAVIMETER DATA V1.0

    Metadata Updated: January 30, 2026

    This data set contains a table of readings from the Traverse Gravimeter Experiment performed during the Apollo 17 mission. The gravimeter, which recorded relative measurements of the local gravitational field at the lunar surface, was manually run by the astronauts near the Lunar Module landing site. The data table includes 23 valid gravity values, with calibrations and corrections, that were obtained from 12 to 14 December 1972. The absolute value for the Lunar Module site was estimated to be 162,694.6 milligal with an uncertainty of 5 milligal. Supporting documentation includes the Apollo 17 Traverse Gravimeter Experiment Final Report.
