The Clementine mission provided the first high resolution multispectral image data set of the far side of the moon. While near-side surface morphological units have been studied extensively from Earth-based spectral measurements, this is the first opportunity to examine the compositional properties of far-side areas. Moscoviense is one of the prominent large impact basins on the lunar far side centered on 147 deg 27 E, 26 deg 27 N), approximately 445 km in diameter. The geomorphology is complex, possibly resulting from sequences of explosive volcanism, mare emplacement by effusive volcanism, and subsequent smaller impacts. The terrain exhibits great variation in brightness, color and texture on a very small (several hundred meter) to large (ten to hundred km) scale.
