[Crater-team] Input for ESM6 Lunar Environment Theme - Radiation

Wed Sep 18 13:30:00 EDT 2024

Thanks, Tim!

I suggest that in the section on Mission Support, under ESM5 progress, 
we mention the radiation work that has been done so far. I think it 
would also make sense to include Fatemeh's progress on solar cycle/dose 
predictions.

Specific text/area:
5.4.2. Science Investigations to Support Artemis:
5.4.2.1 CRaTER investigation from ESM5 for support of Artemis:
CRaTER TEAM: we need to include the progress and status of this in the 
accomplishments and associated table above. Does this continue into 
ESM6? I note that data from PG-1 (CIS-lunar environment) and IM-2 (south 
pole) is just being archived and made available roughly now and thus 
available for incorporation into this investigation for ESM6. Some 
instruments from the canceled CLPS mission have also been re-manifested 
(see table of ESM6 missions above).
