The spectral reflectance properties of the Moon are governed by the minerals and glasses composing the lunar regolith, their physical state, and the optical effects of soil maturity. Work by Hapke and others has provided all the tools necessary to produce a model of near-IR spectra of the Moon within simplifying assumptions. We have produced such a model and are beginning to apply it to lunar science problems. Two classes of problems are amenable to immediate use: determining compositions of lunar surface regions using groundbased and Clementine data, and understanding the detection limits for minerals and rock types using existing and planned data sets. Optical constants of all components are required for this model. An inversion of Hapke equations was presented in order to compute optical constants from reflectance spectra.
