Prospector Instruments In keeping with the Discovery mission goals of ,"Faster, Better, Cheaper," Lunar Prospector will study the Moon's composition using proven technology. The instruments on Lunar Prospector represent the next generation of the same devices that have flown aboardApollo and other missions.  Prospector's scientific instrument team is made up of three groups. Dr. William Feldman (Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM), G. Scott Hubbard (NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA) and Dr. Alan Binder (Lunar Research Institute, Gilroy, CA) make up the spectrometer group, which oversees operations of the neutron, gamma ray and alpha particle spectrometers. Dr. Lon Hood (University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ), Dr. Mario Acuna (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD) and Dr. Robert Lin (University of California at Berkeley) make up the magnetometer/electron reflectometer group. Dr. Alexander Konopliv (Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA) heads the gravity group.    HTML:     Macromedia Shockwave:   - Gamma Ray Spectrometer     - An Intro to the Gamma Ray Spectrometer   - Magnetometer     - An Introduction to the Neutron Spectrometer   - Electron Reflectometer         - Neutron Spectrometer       - Alpha Particle Spectrometer         - Doppler Gravity Experiment
