The Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3), a NASA Discovery Mission of Opportunity, is a high fidelity imaging spectrometer currently mapping the Moon on-board India's Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft. Preliminary analysis of the spectral and spatial content of the M3 data have revealed previously unknown mineralogical and compositional character of the Moon. We utilize the concepts of n-dimensional spectral space, coupled with global mosaics of the M3 data, to determine the spectral subspace spanned by common and anomalous surface materials. Exploiting the methods of Projection Pursuit and Grand Tour Visualization permits an interactive and animated exploration of the 12+ dimensional spectral space spanned by these new data. We gratefully acknowledge the support of Brown University and the NASA Discovery Mission Office.
