As amateur astronomers can help lunar mission LADEE

Mission Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) scheduled for launch into space from Wallops Island on September 5 this year. LADEE will be the first mission, sent from the Wallops Island, which will go beyond low-Earth orbit. As a joint project of the Goddard Space Flight Center and NASA Ames Research Center, LADEE will learn from orbit conditions that exist on the Moon, including its tenuous exosphere.
