The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has been in orbit since July 2009. The Lyman Alpha Mapping Project (LAMP) [1] on board LRO has a primary focus of investigating the lunar poles (see abstracts by Gladstone et al. and Retherford et al., this meeting), searching for water frost in the permanently shadowed regions, as well as studying the lunar atmosphere. LAMP also makes measurements of the dayside lunar surface on each orbit. In this project, we utilize the LAMP dayside data to study the lunar surface and to understand its spectral variations. The canonical method for investigating the surface composition of planetary surfaces is nearinfrared spectroscopy. Here we utilize the ultraviolet wavelength range, shown to be sensitive to weathering effects and also containing diagnostic compositional features. We focus on data in the 110- 190 nm range.
