In this thesis, I present my work developing two instruments for studying cosmic and solar particles and the secondary radiation created by them. The RadMap Telescope is a compact radiation monitor for characterizing the environment inside the International Space Station. The Lunar Cosmic-Ray and Neutron Spectrometer is a versatile instrument designed to detect areas of increased sub-surface hydrogen abundance via neutron spectroscopy, which we use to search for water-ice deposits in the Moon's polar regions.
