Recently a technique for deriving the Fe content of the lunar surface from spectral measurements in the extended visible wavelength range was developed and applied to images obtained by Clementine cameras [Lucey et al. (1995) Science 268, 1150.]. In concert with that effort, we have been re-examining the effects of Ti content on the spectral properties of a group of lunar soil samples. Insight gained from the study of the soil spectra has suggested a method for calibrating lunar imaging data sets to TiO2. Unlike the previous "Charette relationship", the new method for determination of Ti is insensitive to Fe, and thus is applicable to much lower Ti contents. This allows Ti-mapping to be extended to the lunar highlands and low-Ti maria. TiO2 images have been prepared from Galileo and Clementine data.
