Abstract(in English) A moon-orbiting observatory mission in the early 21st century is now under investigation jointly by ISAS and NASDA for lunar science, lunar environment research, and technology development for future lunar exploration. The mission will consist of a main orbiting satellite at about 100 km altitude near the polar circular orbit, a relay satellite, and a lander. The scientific objectives of the mission are; 1) study of the origin and evolution of the moon, 2) in-situ measurement of the lunar environment, and 3) observation of the solar terrestrial plasma environment from the lunar orbit. This paper describes the payload instruments and their scientific achievements expected in the mission.
