Summary[edit]

Description

India’s Chandrayaan lunar orbiter is carrying an instrument provided by NASA that will map the minerals on the Moon in high resolution. According to the team behind the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3), scientists will use this information to answer questions about the Moon’s origin and development, and the evolution of terrestrial planets in the early solar system. Future astronauts will use it to locate resources, possibly including water, that can support exploration of the Moon and beyond.

In this triptych, a landscape in the Orientale Basin region of the Moon is seen in natural sunlight (left), processed data showing mineralogical differences (center), and thermal emissions that show fine details in topology (right).
