      InstructionDesignation
      Experiment datarecords (EDR)Raw, uncorrected lunar surface altimetry data, as well as packetfile creation time, mission phase, etc
      Reduced datarecords (RDR)Calibrated, geolocation data sets, data set is a combination ofspacecraft trajectory, attitude history and lunar positioning model to recordposition of each laser spot on lunar surface
      Radiometry datarecords (RADR)Mainly includes reflectivity of lunarsurface along orbit direction
      Gridded datarecords (GDR)Mainly consists of grid digital elevation, includingsampling density, surface reflectance, slope, roughness,geoid height and surface reflectance at 1064 nm wavelength
      Spherical harmonicdata records (SHADR)Includes spherical harmonic topography and gravity potential modelsbased on LOLA rangefinder and radio tracking
