Lunar Elemental Composition and Ivestigations with D-CIXS X-Ray Mapping Spectrometer on SMART-1
Abstract
The D-CIXS Compact X-ray Spectrometer on ESA SMART-1 successfully launched in Sept 2003 can derive 45 km resolution images of the Moon with a spectral resolution of 185 eV, providing the first high-resolution global map of rock forming element abundances.
