Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO)'s science payload of seven instruments gathers data useful to further exploration of the moon. Among those instruments is CRaTER Cosmic Ray Telescope for the Effects of Radiation. CRaTER characterizes the global lunar radiation environment and its biological impacts by measuring galactic and solar cosmic ray radiation behind a "human tissue-equivalent" plastic.
