Scientific paper

LAMP is an Extreme/Far ultraviolet (UV) imaging spectrograph operating in lunar orbit aboard the NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). LRO arrived in lunar orbit in July, 2009. LAMP's primary objective is to search for evidence of exposed polar frosts in permanently shadowed regions; its secondary objectives are to explore the UV reflectivity characteristics of the lunar surface and to study the lunar atmosphere. At the time of this abstract submission, LAMP has been turned on in lunar orbit but has not yet begun its data collections; those collections will begin in August. We will describe the LAMP instrument and investigation, show first light and other early datasets, and describe some initial results.
