The 1994 Clementine mission acquired global-coverage digital images of the moon using UV-VIS and near-IR cameras. The UV-VIS data cover much of the moon in five wavelengths at a resolution of about 125 m/pixel, potentially providing a wealth of information on soil composition, maturity, and mineralogy at a fine scale. While much information can, in principle, be inferred from these data, based on laboratory studies of lunar samples and their spectral properties, we can test conclusions drawn from these data using what is known from the returned lunar samples and the geology of the landing sites. Preliminary findings of a study of the Apollo 17 landing site are presented, where sample data are correlated with the spectral properties of individual 125 m pixels to which the sample stations correspond. Some of the uncertainties associated with the data and with processing of Clementine UV-VIS images for the specific purpose of extracting compositional or petrographic information are discussed.
