Abstrakt: Abstract—The Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SRI RAS) and the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) have been cooperating in nuclear planetology for 25 years. From the JINR, employees at the Laboratory of Neutron Physics and the Laboratory of Radiation Safety are involved in joint activities. During this time, a number of space instruments have been developed based on gamma and neutron spectroscopy, for which the JINR carried out detailed ground-based calibrations using various radiation sources and planetary soil models. Most of this scientific equipment is already operating on orbital and landing spacecraft and provide unique scientific data on the presence and distribution of water (ice) on the surface of the Moon and Mars and the elemental composition of the soil.
