Chronological and compositional mapping of the Mare Orientale basin using Chandrayaan-1 - M3 and LRO datasets
Karthi, A.; Arivazhagan, S.
The lunar multiring mare basins have different ages, compositions and are associated with the diverse unit of mare deposits, providing evidence for the origin and evolution of the lunar crust. The multiring basins offer the opportunity to assess many unknown questions that may reveal the lunar geologic standpoint. The Mare Orientale basin is one o…

Bhatt, Megha; Bhardwaj, Anil; Srivastava, Neeraj +1 more
The Pre-Nectarian Crüger-Sirsalis Basin (centered at 16.0°S, 293.0°E; ~ 475 km in diameter) is a primarily degraded and obscured impact basin on the Moon. This study presents the first geological description of the Crüger-Sirsalis Basin using remote sensing datasets from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), Chandrayaan-1, and Kaguya missions. An in…
