Moon missions will experience a different environment with respect to typical Low Earth Orbit trajectories. Not protected by the Earth magnetosphere, humans and systems will be exposed to health and reliability risks from two sources of radiation: a continuous low-flux exposure to very energetic Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) and potentially high particle fluxes during Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) events.

The work addresses the development of a comprehensive radiation monitor system package (including various individual sensor units) for lunar missions.
