An Investigation of the Moon’s Silicic Volcanism<\/h2>\n

Lunar-VISE will use a multi-instrument payload on a lander and rover to determine the composition and physical properties of pristine rocks and regolith comprising the Gruithuisen domes, which will be critical to understanding their formation. The 10-day science investigation will use the rover and lander operations to collect surface spectral and imaging measurements at high spatial resolutions on the dome summit. These observations will provide a critical link to existing orbital data sets, extending what we learn at Gruithuisen to other similar lunar non-mare, or terrestrial, silicic spots, building an understanding of late-stage silicic volcanism on the Moon.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
