Acta Geologica Sinica - English Edition, 2021
AbstractThe methods of deriving FeO and TiO2contents from the Clementine spacecraft data were discussed, and an approach was developed to derive the content from the measurements using the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) instrument on Chandrayaan‐1. The density of lunar bedrock was then modeled on the basis of the derived FeO and TiO2abundances.

Mineralogy and Composition of Lunar Fines and Selected Rocks
Science, 1970Mineralogical descriptions and both wet chemical analyses and microprobe analyses are given of the glasses and crystalline components of the lunar fines and of the minerals in microgabbros (samples 10050 and 10047). The principal minerals described are various clinopyroxenes, plagioclase, olivine, low cristobalite, low tridymite, ilmenite, iron-nickel,

Mineralogic and Petrologic Study of Lunar Anorthosite Slide 15415,18
Science, 1972The anorthosite slide 15415,18 contains > 98 percent subhedral plagioclase (97 mole percent anorthite), two pyroxenes: diopsidic augite (46 percent wollastonite, 39 percent enstatite, 16 percent ferrosilite) with subsidiary (100) lamellae and grains of hypersthene (2.5 percent wollastonite, 58 percent enstatite, 39.5 percent ferrosilite), and traces

MINERALOGY, PETROLOGY AND CHEMISTRY OF LUNAR ROCK 12039
Meteoritics, 1972Rock 12039 belongs to the olivine‐depleted group of magmatic rocks characterized by normative and modal SiO2, absence or very low abundance of olivine, and high FeO/(FeO + MgO), Ti/Cr, and CaO/MgO ratios. Clinopyroxenes in this rock show a complex, essentially continuous, compositional zonation from augite cores through ferroaugite to ferrohedenbergite

Lunar materials: Their mineralogy, petrology and chemistry
Earth-Science Reviews, 1972Abstract The manned Apollo 11, 12, 14 and 15 and the automated Luna 16 lunar missions have provided us with lunar rock and regolith (soil) samples from a number of geologically distinct sites. The mare regions were sampled by Apollo 11, 12 and Luna 16, whereas Apollo 14 landed on a terrain with more relief, the Fra Mauro Formation which represents an

Mössbauer mineralogy on the Moon: The lunar regolith
Hyperfine Interactions, 1998A first-order requirement for spacecraft missions that land on solid planetary objects is instrumentation for mineralogical analyses. For purposes of providing diagnostic information about naturally-occurring materials, the element iron is particularly important because it is abundant and multivalent.

The Texture and Mineralogy of Lunar Peridotite, 15445,10
The Journal of Geology, 1973Rock fragment 15445,10 consists of dominant olivine (91 mole % Mg₂SiO₄, 0.03 wt % NiO) and aluminous enstatite (91 mole % MgSiO₃, 5 wt % Al₂O₃), together with substantial chrome spinel (14 wt % Cr₂O₃), minor amounts of granular, interstitial plagioclase (94 mole % CaAl₂Si₂O₈), and traces of rutile (?) (1.0 wt % Nb₂O₅) and armalcolite.

Spectral characteristics of lunar impact melts and inferred mineralogy
Meteoritics & Planetary Science, 2010Abstract– Two suites of lunar impact melt samples have been measured in NASA’s Reflectance Experiment Laboratory (RELAB) at Brown University. Suite 1 comprises seven Apollo 17 crystalline impact melt breccias and seven quenched glass equivalents. Suite 2 is made up of 15 additional impact melt samples (from Apollo 12, 15, 16, and 17) which exhibit a ...
