Lunar soil as shielding against space radiation
We have measured the radiation transport and dose reduction properties of lunar soil with respect to selected heavy ion beams with charges and energies comparable to some components of the galactic cosmic radiation (GCR), using soil samples returned by the Apollo missions and several types of synthetic soil glasses and lunar soil simulants. The suitability for shielding studies of synthetic soi...
متن کاملInformation Requirements for Self-reproducing Systems in Lunar Robotic Colonies
This paper examines the information requirement of a self-reproducing system in a lunar setting. Prior work is extended to allow self-reproducing entities the ability to select required resources in a probabilistic manner, leading to the notion of probabilistic reproduction. The quantitative requirement for probabilistic production of a nondegenerate offspring, i.e., an offspring with the same ...
متن کاملFree space laser communication experiments from Earth to the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter in lunar orbit.
Laser communication and ranging experiments were successfully conducted from the satellite laser ranging (SLR) station at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) to the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) in lunar orbit. The experiments used 4096-ary pulse position modulation (PPM) for the laser pulses during one-way LRO Laser Ranging (LR) operations. Reed-Solomon forward error correction codes ...

متن کاملProtecting the radiation-damaged skin from friction: a mini review
Radiation-induced skin reactions are an unavoidable side effect of external beam radiation therapy, particularly in areas prone to friction and excess moisture such as the axilla, head and neck region, perineum and skin folds. Clinical studies investigating interventions for preventing or managing these reactions have largely focussed on formulations with moisturising, anti-inflammatory, anti-m...
