Scientists Share First Artemis I Radiation Measurements Results

Summary by spacevoyaging.com

Outer space is an environment where spacecraft and astronauts are exposed to several radioactive sources. Solar activity, galactic cosmic rays, and the charged particles that form the Van Allen belts are among them. Limiting the exposure of astronauts is an important part of mission design. During the Artemis I mission, which took place in late 2022, scientists measured and mapped radiation exposure during a lunar flight. By using detectors plac…

First results of radiation measurements on Artemis I

To that end, several radiation sensors, placed in NASA's Orion spacecraft and inside two ghost manikins Helga and Zohar, were launched during the unmanned Artemis I mission in 2022, making it possible for the first time to collect continuous radiation data during a trip between Earth and the Moon. The research team from ESA, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and NASA published the first results of these sensors today in the scientific journal Na…
