| Research Abstract |
Lunar major elements were mapped in cooperation of the X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer teams from Japanese and Indian lunar orbiter missions. In spite of a dimmed solar activity which excites lunar X-rays much fainter than expected as well as troubles in instrumentation, mapped area of major elements (Mg-Al-Si ratios) has doubled from that by Apollo missions and heavier elements such as Ca, Ti and Fe were locally observed. Roughness effect correction could not be done because no regions were observed from multiple solar angles.
