Future solar-system exploration missions will have an increasing focus on the habitability of the moon or planet under investigation. A key aspect of habitability is the availability of water which can be detected by observing signatures of thermal and epithermal neutrons. State-of-the-art instruments which detect thermal and epithermal neutrons are normally heavy and consume substantial spacecraft resources. Therefore, there is substantial interest in developing small, light-weight instruments with a high detection efficiency. We are currently investigating an innovative detector design based on solid-state detectors and will present initial results.
