The surfaces of lunar materials that are exposed to the space environment are modified by a number of processes which alter their chemical and physical characteristics. These surface modifications on lunar rocks result in the formation of patina. The presence of patina obscures the underlying mineralogy and can strongly affect the optical properties of the substrate. Patinas are important in the further exploration of the Moon and other airless bodies in the Solar System because of their effects on remotely-sensed data (both spectral and chemical). We present here the results of a detailed study of a small region of patina on 76015 as part of a consortium study on the nature and effects of space weathering on the lunar surface (see companion abstract Wentworth S. J. et al.).
