| ID No : | 603 Edit | Title: | LRO/LAMP Expected Data Products: Overview of FUV Maps and Spectra |
| Summary / Review : | "The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Lyman-Alpha Mapping Project (LAMP) is a UV spectrograph (Figure 1) designed to address how water is formed on the moon, transported through the lunar atmosphere, and deposited in permanently shaded regions (PSRs)[1]. Its main objectives are to 1) identify exposed water frost in PSRs, 2) characterize landforms and albedos in PSRs, 3) demonstrate the feasibility of using natural starlight and sky-glow illumination for future lunar surface mission applications, and 4) assay the lunar atmosphere and its variability. The production and transport of lunar atmosphere constituents (e.g., H, Ar, and potentially others) will be investigated by observation of their resonantly scattered FUV emissions. LAMP albedo maps of PSR landforms and potential surface water ice will be used to investigate the intriguing processes that occur within PSRs. Potential sites of active outgassing such as the Aristarchus crater and the Ina structure [2] are targets of special interest for LAMP spectral map products." (Author's abstract) |
