Remote geochemical mapping of lunar impact melt associated with complex craters may provide a key to a better understanding of impact melt formation and the impact cratering process. Ground-based NIR spectra and Clementine multispectral images provide high-resolution spectral and spatial information, respectively, about lunar impact melts. As part of an effort towards improving our ability to interpret these data, two suites of lunar samples have been measured in NASA's Reflectance Experiment Laboratory (RELAB) at Brown University. The samples include seven Apollo 17 crystalline impact melts as well as synthesized glass equivalents and 15 naturally occurring impact melts from four landing sites. The naturally occurring melts have a range of textures and compositions related to glass abundance.
