  • Abstract
    Remote-sensing datasets obtained by each instrument aboard Selenological and Engineering Explorer (SELENE) and Chandrayaan-1 have not been compared directly, and the characteristics of each instrument’s data, which may reflect the observation conditions of each instrument and/or residual error in instrument calibration, are unknown. This paper describes the basic characteristics of the data derived by each instrument, briefly describes the data-processing conversion from radiance to reflectance, and demonstrates what we can achieve by combining data obtained by different instruments on different missions (five remote-sensing instruments and an Earth-based telescope). The results clearly demonstrate that the spectral shapes of the instruments are comparable and thus enable us to estimate the composition of each geologic unit, although absolute reflectances differ slightly in some cases.
