    Abstract:

    Lunar water ice is an important target for the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS). Infrared remote sensing serves as a crucial tool for detecting lunar water ice, yet its direct application in the permanently shadowed region (PSR) poses challenges due to the absence of direct sunlight. In this study, we propose a spectral correction method for the PSR based on the sunlight scattering model. Additionally, we have developed a water ice detection methodology based on spectral absorption characteristics.The method was applied to two typical craters, Shackleton and Nobili, situated in the lunar south polar area, successfully unveiling water ice indications in both locations. The outcomes of our investigation are anticipated to offer valuable insights for the forthcoming site selection and establishment of the ILRS.
