Abstract

Experimental data are presented on the bidirectional reflectance distribution function and 8-deg directional-hemispherical reflectance measurements of a Martian regolith simulant, JSC Mars-1. The scatterometer located in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Goddard Space Flight Center Diffuser Calibration Facility was used for the measurements reported. The data were obtained with a monochromator-based light source in the ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared spectral regions. The measurements were performed at different angles of incidence and over a range of in-plane and out-of-plane scattered geometries. The results presented are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The hemispherical and diffuse scattering data obtained from these studies are important for current and future Mars space- and ground-based observations.
