The Chandrayaan-1 X-ray Spectrometer (C1XS) flown on-board the first Indian lunar mission Chandrayaan-1, measured X-ray fluorescence spectra during several episodes of solar flares during its operational period of ∼9 months. The accompanying X-ray Solar Monitor (XSM) provided simultaneous spectra of solar X-rays incident on the Moon which are esse…

We conducted spectral analysis of central region of the Mare Moscoviense area on the far side of the Moon using the Hyperspectral Imager (HySI) data from the Chandrayaan-1 mission in an effort to identify and map the major lithological units present in the area. Various spectral band parameters, namely, band curvature, band tilt and band strength …
