Lunar multispectral mosaics from Galileo's second Earth-Moon flyby
Abstract
Galileo's Solid-State Imaging (SSI) experiment acquired about 800 images of the Moon from the second Earth-Moon flyby (EM2) in December of 1992. Ten major sequences were acquired; each consists of mosaics of the entire or nearly entire visible and illuminated surface from each viewing geometry in at least six spectral filters (effective wavelengths for the Moon of 420, 564, 660, 756, 890, and 990 nm). The geometries of LUNMOS numbers 3, 4, 5, and 6 were designed to provide stereo data at the best possible resolutions. The purpose of this abstract is to describe the sequences, calibration, processing, and mosaicking, and to present a set of color products in a poster session.
