Abstract:

The Diviner lunar radiometer has made the first direct global measurements of silicate mineralogy of the lunar surface using multispectral thermal emission mapping [1]. By mid-March, 2011, the first derived compositional data products (level 3) will be released into the Planetary Data System (PDS) Geosciences Node. These products describe the Diviner Science Team’s best efforts to determine the position of the Christiansen feature (CF), which is directly related to silicate mineralogy of lunar soils [e.g. 2,3]. The initial release of these products include data from the mission’s primary mapping phase between 9/17/09 and 9/16/10. This work describes at a high level the creation of Diviner’s compositional data products.
