Paper Abstract
The Lyman Alpha Mapping Project (LAMP) is a lightweight (6.1 kg), low-power (4.5 W), ultraviolet spectrograph based
on the Alice instruments now in flight aboard the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft and NASA's New
Horizons spacecraft. Its primary job on NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is to identify and localize
exposed water frost in permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) near the Moon's poles, and to characterize landforms and
albedos in PSRs. In this paper we describe the in-flight radiometric performance and commissioning results and
compare them to ground calibration measurements.
