Deriving iron contents from past and future Venus surface spectra with new high-temperature laboratory emissivity data

Abstract
atmosphere is largely transparent. The new laboratory data show that different rock types can be distinguished using only a small set of spectral bands. Therefore, future orbital spectral observations can provide a much-needed global composition map.
