The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Mission, scheduled to be launched by the end of 2008, will carry six instruments to serve several exploratory objectives for a return of astronauts to the Moon. One of the six instruments, the Cosmic Ray Telescope for the Effects of Radiation (CRaTER), will characterize the lunar radiation environment and its biological impacts on humans. In this presentation, we provide an overview of CRaTER measurement objectives and implementation. CRaTER has two Tissue Equivalent Plastic volumes embedded between three pairs of solid-state detectors. We present preliminary computer calculations of expected CRaTER detector responses to Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) and Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) by simulating several SEPs and energetic, heavy, GCR particle spectra using two state-of-the-art Monte Carlo Codes, HETC-HEDS and BBFRAG.
