LRO's instrument suite will provide the highest resolution data, and the most comprehensive data set ever returned from the moon. Some of the data includes :
+ Supply information on Lunar radiation environment
+ Evaluating the biological impacts and allowing development of protective technologies
+ Provide the first highly accurate 3D lunar cartographic maps
+ Map mineralogy across the whole moon
+ Search for polar volatiles (especially water ice)
+ Provide an assessment of features for landing sites
