Definition

Spherical harmonic coefficient model describing the lunar gravitational field, with maximum degree and order of 150. This paper uses LP150Q in lunar orbital analysis to calculate the effects of the Moon's non-spherical gravitational field on spacecraft trajectories.

Application Value

LP150Q Lunar Gravity Model is a fundamental concept in cislunar mission design, playing an important role in orbital design and tracking planning.
