ESA's SMART-1 mission to the Moon achieved record firsts such as: 1) first Small Mission for
Advanced Research and Technology; with spacecraft built and integrated in 2.5 years and …

Lunar sulfides and oxides are a significant source of noble and base metals and will be vital
for future human colonies' self-sustainability. Sulfide detection (pyrite and troilite) applies to …

The brightness temperature (TB) features extracted from Chang'e-2 Lunar Microwave
Sounder (CELMS) data represent the passive microwave thermal emission (MTE) from the …

Despite several lines of evidence for efficient mixing of impact melt in complex craters, we
document mineralogical heterogeneity in impact melt deposit on a scale of tens of kilometers …

We present a technique for improving the spatial resolution of satellite spectrophotometric
data of the Moon's surface using an artificial neural network. We demonstrate this approach …

Several modern optical instruments orbited the Moon during 2008 and 2009 onboard the
SELENE and Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft and provided a welcomed feast of spectroscopic …

The FeO weight percentage (wt.%) abundance of the Moon's western nearside (55° S–55° N
and 5° E–40° W) is estimated using data from the InfraRed Spectrometer-2 (SIR-2) and the …

We use multi-source remote sensing data to identify the details of a mascon south-east of
the lunar Copernicus crater. Studies of the topography, gravity, geochronology and mineral …

Chang'E lunar microwave sounder (CELMS) data provide a potential way to understand the
thermophysical features of the shallow lunar crust. In this study, four typical Copernican …

Copernicus is a well-known, almost perfectly circular, complex impact crater with
pronounced ejecta rays covering a large part of the lunar near side and for this reason, is …
