The Japan Aerospace EXploration Agency (JAXA) SELenological and ENgineering Explorer (SELENE) mission’s Kaguya spacecraft was launched on September 14, 2007 and science operations around the Moon started October 20, 2007. The primary mission in a circular polar orbit 100-km above the surface lasted from October 20, 2007 until October 31, 2008. An extended mission was then conducted in lower orbits (averaging 50km above the surface) from November 1, 2008 until the SELENE mission ended with Kaguya impacting the Moon on June 10, 2009. These data are digital terrain models derived using the NASA Ames Stereo Pipeline (ASP) and the Kaguya stereoscopic data. Digital terrain models (DTMs) in this data set were bundle adjusted and aligned to Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) shot data. The sensor model intrinsics used for these data have been re-estimated to reduce inter-DTM horizontal and vertical errors. Data are controlled to LOLA using the ASP pc_align program.
