Scientific paper

Lunar Prospector carries a Neutron Spectrometer (NS) whose purpose is: (1) to search for H, perhaps in the form of buried water ice at the lunar poles and/or in the form of solar wind implanted in mature regolith, and (2) to map the surface composition in Ti, Fe, and KREEP. Initial analysis of the data has shown that NS measurements may also (3) provide valuable clues to the sub-surface temperature and, perhaps, surface thermal heat flow. The NS consists of two 5.7-cm diameter by 20-cm long 3He gas proportional counters. One is covered with Cd and so responds only to epithermal neutrons (0.3 eV
