Mars Surface Ionizing Radiation Environment: Need for Validation
Introduction: Protection against the hazards from exposure to ionizing radiation remains an unresolved issue in the Human Exploration and Development of Space (HEDS) enterprise [1]. The major uncertainty is the lack of data on biological response to galactic cosmic ray (GCR) exposures but even a full understanding of the physical interaction of GCR with shielding and body tissues is not yet ava...
متن کاملEuropa’s Radiation Environment and Its Effects on the Surface
Europa’s orbit in the radiation environment of Jupiter is reviewed as is the influence of the neutral gas torus on the surface weathering of that moon. Data and fits to charged particle intensities in the 1-keV to the tens-of-MeV energy range are provided near Europa. Leading/trailing hemisphere differences are highlighted. Effects of charged particles on the surface of Europa, such as sputteri...
متن کاملBackground radiation, people and the environment
All living organisms are exposed to ionizing radiation comprising cosmic rays coming from outer space, terrestrial nuclides occurring in the earth’s crust, building materials, air, water and foods and in the human body itself. The exposures are constant and uniform for all individuals everywhere including the dose from ingestion of 40K in food. Cosmic rays are, more intense at higher alt...
متن کاملTechnical Notes on the Near Surface Experiments of Submerged Submarine
In this study, the experimental analysis on the bare hull resistance coefficient of submarine at snorkel depth is represented. The experiments are conducted in marine laboratory of Admiral Makarov University. The results are presented for surface condition and snorkel condition. Snorkel depth is regarded equal to one diameter of submarine hull beneath the water surface as usual in submarines. P...
متن کاملThe Space Radiation Environment
The effects of the space radiation environment on spacecraft systems and instruments are significant design considerations for space missions. Astronaut exposure is a serious concern for manned missions. In order to meet these challenges and have reliable, cost-effective designs, the radiation environment must be understood and accurately modeled. The nature of the environment varies greatly be...
