M3 Science Blog

In March of each year, the planetary science community assembles at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC) in Houston, TX.  Hosted by the Lunar and Planetary Institute, this meeting is one of the premiere planetary science conferences, and is an always exciting week full of the latest discoveries, newest mission results, science discussion, and collaboration.  This year will certainly be no different, as the Moon Mineralogy Mapper team will make its first presentations of science results to the international science community! These were first presented March 10 at a Chandrayaan-1 Science Results meeting in India. The M3 team will be making several presentations at LPSC this year, a few of which we would like to highlight for you now.  Each presentation made at LPSC, which can be made in the form of a talk or a poster presentation, is accompanied by a two-page abstract that summarizes the presentation.    Read on for  the highlights from some of those presentations and links to the corresponding abstracts.
