Extended Data Fig. 2: Reflectance spectrum of the landing site region.

a, M3 albedo map at 1,578 nm around the Chandrayaan-3 landing site. This 1° × 1° subset was extracted from M3 product ID M3G20090606T010302. The spatial resolution of the M3 strip used here is 280 m pixel−1. The blue dot in the centre shows the landing site. b, Extracted M3 spectrum from the pixel containing the Chandrayaan-3 landing site (marked by the blue dot in panel a). This reflectance spectrum represents a highland-type soil spectrum with no notable absorption feature at 1 and 2 μm.
