Abstract

The dose effect on the onboard equipment of the lunar rover from ionizing radiation from outer space and from radioisotope sources intended for providing the thermal regime of the spacecraft in a lunar night are considered. Calculations are made to determine the requirements for radiation hardness of devices and their components, as well as the possibility of using the instrumentation reserve developed for the current Moon research projects in a prospective mission with a lunar rover.
