Beating 1 Sievert: Optimal Radiation Shielding of Astronauts on a Mission to Mars
; ; ; ; (Space Weather, 2021-09-03)
Space radiation is one of the main concerns in planning long‐term human space missions. There are two main types of hazardous radiation: solar energetic particles (SEP) and galactic cosmic rays (GCR). The intensity and ... -
Directionality of the Martian Surface Radiation and Derivation of the Upward Albedo Radiation
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; (Geophysical Research Letters, 2021-07-31)
Since 2012 August, the Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) on the Curiosity rover has been characterizing the Martian surface radiation field which is essential in preparation for future crewed Mars missions. RAD observed ... -
From the Top of Martian Olympus to Deep Craters and Beneath: Mars Radiation Environment Under Different Atmospheric and Regolith Depths
; ; ; ; (Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2022-02-27)
In preparation for future human habitats on Mars, it is important to understand the Martian radiation environment. Mars does not have an intrinsic magnetic field and Galactic cosmic ray (GCR) particles may directly propagate ... -
Subsurface Radiation Environment of Mars and Its Implication for Shielding Protection of Future Habitats
Röstel, Lennart;; ; ; (Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2020)
In order to quantify the optimal radiation shielding depth on Mars in preparation for future human habitats on the red planet, it is important to understand the Martian radiation environment and its dependence on the ...
