The Advanced Moon micro-Imager Experiment (AMIE) is the imaging system on board the ESA mission to the Moon SMART-1 which is closing towards its end on September 3rd, 2006. During the time spent in lunar orbit the AMIE camera provided high resolution CCD images of selected lunar areas where it performed colour imaging through three filters at 750, 915 and 960 nm with a maximum resolution of 27 m /pixel at the perilune of 300 km.
The spectral bands have been selected in order to allow discrimination between mafic minerals which dominate the mare (revealed by the Fe2+ absorption feature at 950 nm) and the anorthosite rich highland materials.
Data acquired by AMIE in push-broom modality on November 25th, 2005 for the lunar region of Oppenheimer centered at 36 S, 194 E have been preliminarily analysed . The ground resolution for these observations is of 73 m/px. A new calibration has been applied to the images based on flat-fielding from in-flight data; for the region considered three filters images have been co-registered, colour images and band-ratio images have been produced.
An assessment of the results and a comparison with Clementine data from the same region is presented . Spectra have been extracted from a region in the floor of Oppenheimer and on the rim of a crater : a comparison with spectra from Clementine yields consistent results. Acknowledgements: P.
