How do planetary scientists analyze and interpret data from laboratory, telescopic, and spacecraft observations of planetary surfaces? This comprehensive volume answers these topical questions by providing an overview of the theory and techniques of remote compositional analysis of planetary surfaces. What elements, minerals, and volatiles are found on the surfaces of our Solar System's planets, moons, asteroids, and comets?
The book introduces the methodology and theoretical background of each technique, and presents the latest advances in space exploration, telescopic and laboratory instrumentation, and major new work in theoretical studies. Bringing together eminent researchers in Solar System exploration, it describes state-of-the-art results from spectroscopic, mineralogical, and geochemical techniques used to analyze the surfaces of planets, moons, and small bodies.
