Chang’E‐4 Rover Spectra Revealing Micro‐scale Surface Thermophysical Properties of the Moon

Abstract: Lunar surface temperature variations provide key information about the thermophysical properties of the regolith. To date, temperatures have been measured using telescopes and orbiter instruments, providing information from mid‐infrared to long infrared (IR) wavelengths. Here, we report on temperature measurements in the short‐wavelength IR at centimeter scales observed in situ by the Chang’E‐4 rover. These local observations are an important complement to the existing large‐scale data. We show that even at 2.… Show more

“…As shown in Figure 2, most of the SSA spectra are very similar but the measurements close to the noon (N79-N83) uplift beyond 2 μm (Figure 2b). This is consistent with the findings of Wu et al (2021). We assumed N84-N89 as the reference spectra without thermal effects to model surface temperatures at the measurement time of N79-N83.…”

“…Based on the unique in situ spectral data obtained by VNIS, we have gained more information about the origin and evolution of the moon and space weathering [1,31,[41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53]. Li et al further analyzed the REFF spectra collected by VNIS on the first lunar day.…”
