Scientific paper

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and Chandrayaan-1 both carry scientific investigations designed to measure the energetic particle fluxes and radiation dose in low lunar orbit. Mission operations overlapped for more than two months thus providing simultaneous measurements in low, polar lunar orbit. This was a time period of low solar activity and therefore the energetic radiation exposure was confined to the galactic cosmic rays (GCR) and albedo from the lunar surface created by interactions of the GCR with the lunar surface. The sensor basics and a survey of the observations will be presented.
