In the coming years and decades, several nations are planning to send astronauts to the moon. But on the lunar surface, space radiation poses a significant risk. The Apollo astronauts carried so-called dosimeters with them, which performed rudimentary measurements of the total radiation exposure during their entire expedition to the moon and back again. In the current issue of the journal Science Advances, Chinese and German scientists report for the first time on time-resolved measurements of the radiation on the moon.
