This artist's conception of Lunar Prospector shows the Spacecraft in lunar orbit with its instrument masts fully deployed. Prospector's primary mission will keep the spacecraft in a 100 km polar mapping orbit for a full year or more. This orbit will provide higher quality science data than has previously been obtained. Prospector has an Extended Mission option of a 10km, very high resolution orbit for a brief period of time.
