Highlights Recalibration of Lucey et al. (2000b) with hyperspectral data. Origin is optimized for M3 sensor As (0.08,1.18). Optical maturity and FeO contents of two craters are estimated.

    Abstract Prolonged exposure of the microscopic outer layer of the lunar surface to the space environment leads to the maturation of the surface. Maturation can be quantified and it may be expressed in terms of optical maturity (OMAT). Optical maturity estimations are very much helpful in the identification and mapping of the major minerals present on the lunar regolith. Estimation of the maturation and mineral mapping using remote sensing techniques are achieved, by coupling spectral reflectance of the lunar surface with an optimized origin. The present work estimates the optical maturity and Ferrous oxide content of the Goldschmidt and Schrodinger craters, through the recalibration of the classical method of Lucey et al. (2000a) with an origin of (0.08,1.18) and Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) data. The overall recalibration results assure that the craters are highly matured.
