Scientific paper

Laboratory measurements of the far ultraviolet (FUV) spectral signatures of many common minerals and ices are few to nonexistant. To better interpret Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Lyman Alpha Mapping Project (LAMP) observations of the moon and its permanently shaded regions we've developed an experiment to measure the bidirectional reflectance of samples at FUV wavelengths (1150 - 2200 Å) over various reflectance angles to investigate the reflective properties of water ice and lunar soils. Named the Lunar Ultraviolet Reflectance Experiment (LURE), our study characterizes the FUV bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) of water ice and lunar regolith simulants. Our first results will be reported.
