There is also DSPSE (Deep Space Project Science Experiment) to be launched
in Jan 94...it will do 2.5 phasing loops about the Earth and enter Lunar
orbit on or about 21 Feb 94.  It will stay in a 5 hour polar orbit with a periapsis altitude of about 425 km for about 65 days doing a complete 
surface mapping of the Moon using the following cameras

   UV/Visable
   Near Wave IR
   Long Wave IR
   High Resolution Visable

once the mapping phase of the mission is up, we will depart the Moon and for a flyby of the near-earth asteroid 1620 Geographos on 31 Aug 94 as it crosses the ecliptic.
