The beamline design for the Double Eagle Space Experiment (DESE) is described. DESE seeks to map the lunar surface material composition using an active particle beam probe. The 425 MHz, 11.8 m straight beamline delivers a 13 mA, 5.11 MeV neutral hydrogen beam with an equivalent rms divergence of {approximately}40 {mu}rad. The authors studied the beam propagation through the output optics components to the lunar surface and find an adequate return signal for the DESE mapping mission.
