The WIND spacecraft, launched on November 1, 1994, undergoes prior to its halo orbit insertion several lunar swing-by maneuvers. The GEOTAIL spacecraft, skimming around the dayside magnetopause (Dec. 1994), passes also several times behind the moon. The HEP-LD spectrometer onboard of GEOTAIL and the Solar Wind and Suprathermal Ion Composition (SMS) Experiment onboard of the WIND spacecraft are well positioned for observing ions in the mass range between II and Fe in the direct vicinity of the moon. We report first observations of lunar pickup-ions in the magnetotail at a distance of ~80R_e.
