Abstract
It is important to determine the true chemical and mineralogical compositions of lunar rock samples unaffected by the space weathering effects. However, it would be difficult to measure space weathering effects by the SELENE-2 mission. Therefore, we propose an alternative index based on the major element composition, which allows in-situ quantification of space weathering effects.
