The lunar surface, exposed to the harsh space environment, is subject to various factors shaping its unique geological features. This study investigates the differences in seismic activity and radiation levels between the lunar nearside and farside, leveraging data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), Chandrayaan, and Chang'e missions. By analyzing data over extended periods, accounting for factors such as lunar day-night cycles, solar activity, and geographical features, this research aims to quantify the radiation exposure and seismic activity on both sides of the Moon. A detailed comparison will be conducted to identify potential variations and their underlying causes, including the influence of the lunar regolith and subsurface geology. The findings of this study will provide valuable insights into the lunar environment and its suitability for future human exploration and scientific missions.By understanding the radiation and seismic risks, effective strategies can be developed to mitigate these challenges and ensure the safety of lunar missions.
