Lunar densitometer

A lunar densitometer is a scientific instrument used to measure the density of the Moon's surface and subsurface materials. It works by analyzing how much radiation is absorbed or scattered by the lunar soil, which helps scientists understand the composition and structure of the Moon. By evaluating these characteristics, researchers can gather information about the Moon’s geological history, resources, and potential for future exploration. This tool is crucial for missions aiming to study the Moon in greater detail, contributing to our knowledge of not only the Moon but also planetary formation in general.
