With its large effective area and low energy threshold, CLASS generates the highest spatial resolution maps of all major rock-forming elements on the Moon, such as Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Ti, and Fe. Five years of operation in lunar orbit has resulted in global coverage. With several lunar missions planned for this decade for in situ exploration and sample returns, the 155 km geochemical maps from CLASS will serve as an important dataset. This article highlights the scientific results of CLASS in the last five years and discusses its potential applications. Indian Academy of Sciences 2025.
