Scientific paper

The color and spectrophotometric characteristics of the mare surface of the southeastern part of the floor of the lunar crater Le Monnier are analyzed and compared with the spectral characteristics of several other mare regions. The TiO2 content in the Le Monnier crater basalts is estimated to be less than 1-2 wt pct. Other estimates of TiO2 content include 13.2 wt pct at the Apollo 17 landing site, 1.4-2.6 wt pct northwest of the Harding crater, and 5.3-6.8 wt pct northwest of the Lichtenberg crater. It is noted that, in the lunar reflectance spectra in the 0.5-0.6 micron wavelength range, the absorption band strength attributable to ilmenite increases with increasing concentrations of TiO2.
