Chang’E 4 is the first mission to the far side of the Moon and consists of a
lander, a rover, and a relay spacecraft. Lander and rover were launched at
18:23 UTC on December 7, 2018 and landed in the von K’arm’an crater at 02:26
UTC on January 3, 2019. Here we describe the Lunar Lander Neutron & Dosimetry
experiment (LND) which is part of the Chang’E 4 Lander scientific payload. Its
chief scientific goal is to obtain first active dosimetric measurements on the
surface of the Moon. LND also provides observations of fast neutrons which are
a result of the interaction of high-energy particle radiation with the lunar
regolith and of their thermalized counterpart, thermal neutrons, which are a
sensitive indicator of subsurface water content.
