Blocking Space Radiation in Deep Space

Blocking Space Radiation in Deep Space

Blocking space radiation is one of the critical concerns for the continued human presence in deep space. Deep space radiation environment consists of low-flux density but highly energetic galactic cosmic rays and the random burst of energetic particles from the Sun, known as solar energetic particles. The combined space radiation environment can cause short-term and [...]

Space Radiation Shielding for Getting to Mars

Space Radiation Shielding for Getting to Mars

Rajarshi Pal Chowdhury, PhD The space radiation environment a crewed spacecraft would have to traverse on its way to Mars is a complex hybrid of solar energetic particles, galactic cosmic rays, and trapped radiation. The radiation threat in deep space is mainly comprised of two components: 1) random bursts of energetic particles (primarily protons) generated [...]
