The bulk chemistry of the Sittampundi anorthosite rock samples was determined by conducting the X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer Tests (XRF) (Anbazhagan and Arivazhagan, 2010) and Scanning Electron

It was crushed in an impact mill with a resulting median particle size 85.9 m, similar to Apollo soils. Bulk density, shear resistance, complex permittivity, and reflectance spectra were also similar

with mineralogical investigations via petrographical analysis with optical microscope and SEM, XRF, XRD and DSC measurements

X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) has been used to perform geochemical analysis of two representative samples.
