Recently, great strides have been made in understanding the origin and evolution of the Moon through a synthesis of Apollo sample analyses, Clementine Spectral Reflectance (CSR) data, and Lunar Prospector remotely sensed geochemical data. These studies have generally investigated regional chemical and mineralogical variations at the scale of tens to hundreds of km. More detailed studies at the sub-kilometer scale utilizing derived spectral parameters such as FeO and TiO2 are hampered by inaccuracies in photometric corrections resulting from local slopes. Detailed analysis of spectral parameters of lunar highlands and craters requires topographic data at a scale comparable to the pixel resolution of the spectral measurements, for CSR approximately 125-250 m/p. Unfortunately global topographic data for the Moon exist only at the scale of tens of kilometers.
