Scientific paper

Spectral reflectance contains direct information on the mineralogy of the surface soils and rocks. A problem concerning the employment of remote spectral-reflectance sensing techniques for mineralogical studies is related to the lack of photometrically precise spectra of planetary surfaces in the region from 1.0 to 2.5 micrometers, where additional important mineral absorptions occur. Recently, a new instrument was developed, and an observational program is underway to provide the required near-infrared spectra. The first, comprehensive near-infrared spectroscopic results for the moon are presented. It is shown that it is equally possible to derive quantitative mineralogical information about the lunar surface by using remotely sensed reflectance spectra as it is by using laboratory reflectance measurements of lunar samples.
