  22. LEND Development Milestones

  23. Summary • LEND is developing in response to RLEP-LRO M010, M070 and M110: corresponding flows • from LRO Mission requirements to LEND Functional Requirements and Design Requirements are • well understood • Data Products of LEND are defined, which correspond to RLEP-LRO M010, M070 and M110 • LEND development process ensures that LEND Flight Unit will provide defined Data Products • LEND accommodation on LRO ensures that LEND will be able to provide defined Data Products • There is only one additional requirement to LRO driven by LEND (measurements at different • angles from Nadir to Horizon) which is not presented in the mission baseline. This operation • provides additional data products on Lunar Radiation Environment (angular distribution of • neutron component) • 6. LEND team is ready to move to the preliminary design stage • 7. What is the status of the agreements?
