Dynamic Albedo of Neutrons

IN-SITU INSTRUMENTATION Mast Camera | Mars Hand Lens Imager | Chemistry & Mineralogy X-Ray Diffraction | ChemCam | Sample Analysis at Mars Instrument Suite | Radiation Assessment Detector | Dynamic Albedo of Neutrons | Rover Environmental Monitoring Station | Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer The Dynamic Albedo of Neutrons instrument will provide the first surface means of detecting neutron emissions that escape as cosmic rays from space bombard the martian surface. It is a way of detecting hydrogen and, thus, the possible presence of water). Traditionally, this capability has been on board spacecraft orbiting Mars. This instrument will provide local ground measurements to compare to what has been detected from orbit.
