A well‐preserved, ancient delta deposit, in combination with ample exposures of carbonate
outcrops, makes Jezero Crater in Nili Fossae a compelling astrobiological site. We use …

Advanced imaging spectral technology and hyperspectral analysis techniques for multiple
applications are the key features of the book. This book will present in one volume complete …

Methods to constrain the surface mineralogy of asteroids have seen considerable
development during the last decade, with advancement in laboratory spectral calibrations …

The surfaces of airless bodies such as lunar and S-type asteroids typically become
spectrally redder in visible to near-infrared reflectance with longer exposures to space …

Alteration of basalt on the surface of Venus should be dominated by nanophase hematite
and sulfate coatings, but the timescale of oxidation and how that affects spectroscopic …

A global spectral survey of 4506 immature craters with diameters< 1 km was carried out
using near-IR data from the Kaguya Spectral Profiler to characterize the composition of the …

High-resolution hyperspectral data from Chandrayaan-1's Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M 3)
allow detection of olivine on the lunar surface. Olivine exposed at the surface may originate …

We studied the lunar mantle composition based on the characteristics of low‐Ca pyroxene
(LCP)‐rich and olivine‐rich rocks exposed on the lunar surface. Using data mining with …

Mineral abundance and Mg#(100× molar Mg/(Mg+ Fe)) are significant in understanding the
crustal composition and thermal history of the Moon. In this study, we derive a new set of …

Chang'e-4 landed in the Von Kármán basaltic zone affected by Finsen ejecta from the South
Pole-Aitken (SPA)" compositional anomaly"(SPACA), providing an opportunity to untangle …
