Moon multisEnsor and LabOratory Data analysis (MELODY): PRELIMINARY RESULTS

The PRIN INAF research project“Moon multisEnsor and LabOratory Data analYsis (MELODY)” aims at a broader understanding of our Moon by means of a thorough analysis of a few specific regions of interest using several datasets gathered by previous exploration, combined with laboratory analyses of lunar regolith simulants and with laboratory measurements of lunar meteorite samples. This ambitious goal is pursued by integrating the expertise found at Italy’s National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) and other Italian and foreign institutions. Here, we summarize the main results.
