Abstract

This mosaic represents the abundance of the mineral clinopyroxene on the surface of the Moon, expressed as weight percent (wt%). The mosaic was created from topographically-corrected MI reflectance data acquired by the JAXA SELENE/Kaguya mission (see Ohtake et al., 2013) from the Kaguya Archive MI MAP processing level version 2 (MI MAP_02) products. The MI collects images of the lunar surface at 5 wavelengths in the ultraviolet-visible (UVVIS; 415, 750, 900, 950, 1001 nm) region of the electromagnetic spectrum and at 4 wavelengths in the near-infrared region (NIR; 1000, 1050, 1100, 1250 nm). These multispectral images have been used to derive 9 new near-global maps of the four common lunar minerals, FeO, optical maturity (OMAT), the abundance of SMFe, the grain size for plagioclase, and an estimation of the modeling error using Hapke’s radiative transfer equations (Lemelin et al., 2015; 2016; 2019). These products only cover the latitudinal range +/-50 degrees due to the difficulty of applying adequate corrections for topographic shading at higher latitudes. Preparation details and information on limitations of these products will be presented in a future publication. The mosaic presented here has been resampled to 512 ppd (59 meters/pixel) from its original resolution of 2048 ppd (15 meters/pixel).

Purpose

The SELENE (KAGUYA) mission addressed the origin and evolution of the Moon by obtaining global element and mineral compositions, topological structure, gravity field and electromagnetic and particle environment of the Moon. The MI was a high-resolution multiband imaging camera with a spatial resolution in visible bands of 20 mpp and a spatial resolution in near-infrared bands of 62 mpp from the 100 km SELENE (KAGUYA) orbit altitude. These data support the derivation of many new products, including mineral and elemental abundance maps such as those presented here.

Logical Consistency

The MI reflectance data were provided by the SELENE team; information about the MAP processing level reflectance can be found in KAGUYA (SELENE) Product Format Description – Lunar Imager/Spectrometer (LISM (TC/MI/SP)) / SPICE Kernel, version 1.3 (2010). See Source Online Linkage below. The MI ultraviolet-visible (UVVIS) data (5 spectral bands, at 415, 750, 900, 950, 1001 nm) were used to derive 9 new near-global maps of common lunar minerals, FeO, TiO2, and optical maturity (OMAT) using Hapke’s radiative transfer equations (Lemelin et al., 2016).

Completeness Report

The MAP level reflectance data product has been derived from 50N to 50S latitude of the Moon. There are data gaps within the mosaic set to NoData.
