Abstract
Multiband Imager (MI) onboard SELENE consists of visible camera (VIS: 400-1000 nm) and near infrared camera (NIR: 1000-1550 nm). These camera derive the multi-spectral images of the lunar surface at spatial resolution of 20 m (VIS ) and 60 m (NIR), with 5 bands and 4 bands, allowing us to know more detailed compositional distribution of the lunar surface, and the characteristics of rock and soil materials on the moon. The results obtained from the MI data will contribute to further understanding of the composition of the moon and its evolution. In this study, we derived pre-flight calibration data of the MI flight model (FM) in order to know the accuracy of the data and check whether the sensor meets the requirement, and calibrate the instruments precisely before the launch.
