Abstract
Using existing lunar and planetary exploration data, we analyzed the topography, temperature, and spectra of candidate landing sites for system-level technical studies of lunar polar landing missions.

Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System
The extremely high processing power of the JAXA supercomputer is essential to process the large amount of terabytes to petabytes of lunar and planetary exploration data and to obtain high-resolution results.
Achievements of the Year
A polar 9-band color map was created using the Multi-band Imager onboard JAXA’s lunar exploration satellite SELENE. A high signal-to-noise ratio was achieved by using all images and giving the median value as each pixel value, instead of the conventional method of creating a mosaic image by stacking single images. The photometric correction was also made more accurate by taking the average of the observations under multiple illumination conditions.
