Radiowave Observations at the Lunar Surface of the photoElectron Sheath (ROLSES), is a low-frequency radio spectrometer aboard Intuitive Machines' lunar lander Nova-C^[1]. The mission is set to land near the lunar south pole in January of 2024^[2].

The instrument has a spectral range from 10kHz to 10Mhz with 1-second resolution^[3]. This instrument will be able to measure the photoelectron sheath density within the first two meters of the lunar surface, which is important for planning larger radio observatories such as the FARSIDE telescope^[3].
