The abundance and distribution of iron on planetary surfaces has been of great interest to planetary scientists, because such data provide important constraints for models of planetary and solar system evolution. A variety of global iron abundance maps have been published for the Moon, the only planet to date for which compositional data derived from both chemical and mineralogical remote sensing instruments are available. Such maps, derived from different instruments and methodologies, have shown some striking differences. This problem becomes particularly important to resolve now in preparation for the encounter with asteroid 433 Eros by the NEAR mission, which will include both X-ray and gamma-ray spectrometers, from which iron abundances are derived directly, as well as visible and near infrared imaging spectrometers, from which iron-bearing mineral abundances are derived and iron abundances can be inferred.
