The Lyman-Alpha Mapping Project:

Project Team  

The LAMP instrument, one of six selected by NASA to be carried aboard LRO, is being developed and built by a team of scientists and engineers from the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. SwRI is an independent non-profit applied research and development organization focused on engineering and the physical sciences. The Denver Museum of Nature & Science is the educational partner for LAMP. Museum staff developed this Web site and in the future will create a video and exhibits showcasing the LAMP instrument and its role in the larger LRO mission.

Here is an organizational chart showing who is who on the LAMP team.
