Hyperspectral data (Table 1) is acquired as continuous narrowbands (eg, each band with 1
to 10 nanometer or nm bandwidths) over a range of electromagnetic spectrum (eg, 400 …

The Kaguya gamma-ray spectrometer (KGRS) has great potential to precisely determine the
absolute abundances of natural radioactive elements K, Th and U on the lunar surface …

The Kaguya Gamma‐Ray Spectrometer uniquely identified uranium gamma‐ray lines from
the Moon with a superior energy resolution of∼ 1%. A global lunar map of uranium …

Dose assessment on the lunar surface is important for future long-term crewed activity. In
addition to the major radiation of energetic charged particles from galactic cosmic rays …
