Apr 4, 2008	7	$2.2M	THE ROBOTIC LUNAR EXPLORATIONLUNAR PRECURSOR ROBOTIC PROGRAM (RLEPLPRP) CONSISTS OF A SERIES OF ROBOTIC LUNAR EXPLORATION MISSIONS TO PREPARE FOR AND TO SUPPORT FUTURE HUMAN EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES. THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE ROBOTIC PREPARATION IS TO REDUCE RISK, ENHANCE MISSION SUCCESS, AND REDUCE THE COST OF FUTURE HUMAN MISSIONS. THE LRO PAYLOAD USED TO ACCOMPLISH THE MISSION OBJECTIVES CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING SIX INSTRUMENTS: 1. LUNAR ORBITER LASER ALTIMETER (LOLA) MEASUREMENT INVESTIGATION SHALL DETERMINE THE GLOBAL TOPOGRAPHY OF THE LUNAR SURFACE AT HIGH RESOLUTION, MEASURE LANDING SITE SLOPES AND SEARCH FOR POLAR ICES IN SHADOWED REGIONS; 2. LUNAR RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER CAMERA (LROC) SHALL ACQUIRE TARGETED IMAGES OF THE LUNAR SURFACE CAPABLE OF RESOLVING SMALL-SCALE FEATURES THAT COULD BE LANDING SITE HAZARDS, AS WELL AS WIDE-ANGLE IMAGES AT MULTIPLE WAVELENGTHS OF THE LUNAR POLES TO DOCUMENT CHANGING ILLUMINATION CONDITIONS AND POTENTIAL RESOURCES; 3. LUNAR EXPLORATION NEUTRON DETECTOR (LEND) SHALL MAP THE FLUX OF NEUTRONS FROM THE LUNAR SURFACE TO SEARCH FOR EVIDENCE OF WATER ICE AND PROVIDE MEASUREMENTS OF THE SPACE RADIATION ENVIRONMENT WHICH CAN BE USEFUL FOR FUTURE HUMAN EXPLORATION; 4. DIVINER LUNAR RADIOMETER EXPERIMENT (DLRE) SHALL MAP THE TEMPERATURE OF THE ENTIRE LUNAR SURFACE AT 300 METER HORIZONTAL SCALES TO IDENTIFY COLD-TRAPS AND POTENTIAL ICE DEPOSITS; 5.
