Scientific paper

The Clementine mission to the moon has provided, for the first time, a global multi-spectral data set of the lunar surface, mapping the moon at eleven different wavelengths at a resolution of approximately 100 m pixel^(-1). By making ratioed images of different wavelengths, it is possible to infer compositional information. We are making color-composite images of all the major lunar rilles to study the compositional relations associated with rilles to try and better understand their formation. So far approximately twelve rilles have been studied, including Rimae Hadley, Sharp, Herigonius and Prinz. Preliminary findings indicate that it is possible to obtain information on sub-rille composition using the Clementine data.
