Scientific paper

Multispectral photometry has proven to be an extremely useful tool to investigate the surface chemistry, mineralogy, and light scattering properties of the Moon. ESA's upcoming SMART-1 mission to the Moon should significantly extend our knowledge about lunar evolution by providing new high resolution multispectral images over a wider range of illumination/ observation geometries compared with earlier missions. We will present an overview of SIR - the new compact lightweight NIR instrument on SMART-1, operating between 940-2400 μ m and will discuss some of the targets SIR is going to investigate.
