Partial Least Squares Modeling of Lunar Surface FeO Content with Clementine Ultraviolet-Visible Images - Planetary Exploration and Science: Recent Results and Advances - page 19

lunar lander and rover mission, “Chang'E-3” lander and “Yutu” rover, respectively,
have launched in December 2013, and the rover will be released to detect mineral
distribution of the lunar surface, especially in Sinus Iridum (Liu et al. 2013 ), which
has never been set foot on by any lander or rover before. Spectral data from VIS-NIR
Imaging Spectrometer (VNIS) onboard Yutu rover may provide good opportunities
and more constraints for lunar compositional studies and as PLS modeling of lunar
iron abundance as well.
