Abstract

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is an ideal and useful instrument for chemical compositional analyses of the lunar and planetary surface materials for the future landing missions, with high spatial resolution (< 1mm), short analytical time (~a few seconds), a capability of remote analyses, and a wide variety of detectable elements from major to trace elements.
