Which experiment measured radiation on the Moon?

ALSEP
CPLEE
Lunar Radiation Experiment
Solar Wind Spectrometer

Answer

The Lunar Radiation Experiment, conducted during the Apollo missions, measured radiation levels on the Moon. This experiment provided valuable data on the radiation environment astronauts would encounter during lunar exploration and helped assess the potential health risks associated with extended stays on the Moon. The experiment involved placing radiation detectors on the lunar surface and collecting data on the types and amounts of radiation present.
