Reflected Lyman-alpha sky-glow and starlight produce sufficient signal for even a small UV instrument like the Lyman Alpha Mapping Project to see in the Moon's permanently shadowed regions (PSR).

The LAMP investigation offers to exploit this to:

  • Spectrally identify the locations of any exposed water-ice deposits in the Moon's PSRs

  • Directly map even the darkest PSRs

  • Demonstrate the feasibility of low-light starlight/sky-glow vision applications for operational use on future landed missions.

LAMP is a low-risk, high-heritage investigation based on a rebuild of an existing instrument. LAMP offers to enhance the exploration and science value of LRO by:

  • Addressing LRO-AO measurement objectives,

  • Testing a novel polar/night vision system for future robotic and human landed missions

  • Collecting lunar atmospheric science datasets that LRO would not otherwise obtain.
