The composition and chemistry of Mercury’s regolith has been calculated from MESSENGER MASCS 0.3–1.3μm spectra from the first flyby, using an implementation of Hapke’s radiative transfer-based photometric model for light scattering in semi-transparent porous media, and a linear spectral mixing algorithm. We combine this investigation with linear spectral fitting results from mid-infrared spectra and...
