Spectral mapping of morphological features on the moon with MGM and SAM

Mapping results demonstrate both the capabilities and the limitations of the MGM method of spectral deconvolution and the SAM method of spectral matching as effective tools for compositional characterizations of morphological features on the lunar surface. As a method of spectral deconvolution, MGM was able to identify and characterize both high- and low - Ca pyroxenes along with plagioclase feldspar. The Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM) was able to map identified mineral mixtures from MGM.
