The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has been in orbit around the Moon since June, 2009. The Lyman Alpha Mapping Project (LAMP) instrument (Gladstone et al., 2010) is designed to identify and map exposed water frost in permanently shadowed polar regions and to characterize the lunar atmosphere and its variability. LAMP has also been making excellent quality measurements of the dayside lunar surface. In this study, we present initial results of an analysis of the dayside observations made to date. We are interested in studying the ultraviolet albedo of the Moon to investigate the effects of space weathering and to look for diagnostic compositional markers. We investigate spectral variations with terrain across the lunar surface and look into phase angle variations. We also compare with previous UV observations of the Moon, from Apollo-17 UVS, Cassini UVIS, Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope, and others.
