Scientific paper

NASA's Lunar Precursor Robotics Program (LPRP will execute a series of robotic missions that will pave the way for eventual permanent human presence on the Moon. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is first in this series of LPRP missions, and plans to launch in October 2008 for at least one year of operation. LRO will employ six different instruments to produce accurate maps and high-resolution images of future landing sites, to assess potential lunar resources, and to characterize the radiation environment. LRO will also test the feasibility of an advanced technology radar system. This talk will give an introduction to each instrument, their exploration objectives, as well as the scientific potential of the LRO data measurement sets.
