TL;DR: In this article, the 6-color calibration SSI spectra (typically 5 × 5 pixels) are shown. But the data were first calibrated relative to MS2, a standard are in Mare Serenitatis (18.7 deg N, 21.5 deg E), and the top four plots of highlands, highland craters, maria, and mare craters are displayed relative to the MS2.
