Istituto di Fisica dello Spazio Interplanetario The knowledge of the gravitational field of a celestial body is one of the few ways to constrain its interior structure and composition An analysis of recent lunar gravity field models (from Clementine and Lunar Prospector) shows that their knowledge at high orders can be improved. This implies greater resolution, useful for accurate knowledge of mantle and crust structure and composition The proposed strategy for MAGIA implies use of a GRACE-like configuration with two satellites (the main spacecraft and a subsatellite) optimized for the sougth for spectral range (l 80) rather low orbit Notice that this high resolution implies a rather low orbit for the satellites, thereby enhancing the strength of non-gravitational perturbations like albedo and infrared radiation pressure (and related thermal effects) The mission MAGIA
