Mineralogy of the last lunar basalts: Results from Clementine
The last major phase of lunar volcanism produced extensive high-titanium mare deposits on the western nearside which remain unsampled by landing missions. The visible and near-infrared reflectance properties of these basalts are examined using Clementine multispectral images to better constrain their mineralogy. A much stronger 1 }am ferrous absorption was observed for the western high-titanium...
متن کاملLunar Mineralogy from Spectral Merging of Rolo Telescopic Data with Clementine
Introduction: Laboratory reflectance measurements of lunar rock powders demonstrate that crystalline lunar materials exhibit very diagnostic absorption features related to sample mineralogy (e.g. [1]). As a result, regoliths exposed at young impact craters are considered important targets for spectral studies of the Moon [2, 3]. However, telescopic spectra of craters small enough to sample indi...
متن کاملSpectral Mapping of Mare Mosciviense, Lunar Farside, from Clementine Uvvis
Background: The Clementine mission provided the first high resolution mul-tispectral image data set of the far side of the Moon. While near side surface morphological units have been studied extensively from earth based spectral measurements, this is the first opportunity to examine the compositional properties of far side areas. Moscoviense is one of the prominent large impact basins on the lu...

Moon’s early evolution (Safronov 1972, Kaula 1979). The geometries and subsurface structures of large impact basins Altimetric profiles from the Clementine LIDAR are used to calculate the depths of 29 large craters and basins on the Moon. preserve a record of the mechanics of impact, the nature Plotting the depths of the best preserved structures together of basin modification, and the thermal ...
متن کاملMagnetization of the lunar crust
[1] Magnetic fields measured by the satellite Lunar Prospector show large scale features resulting from remanently magnetized crust. Vector data synthesized at satellite altitude from a spherical harmonic model of the lunar crustal field, and the radial component of the magnetometer data, have been used to produce spatially continuous global magnetization models for the lunar crust. The magneti...
