Physical shielding 🛡️, such as metals can block many types of #radiation ☢️ before it affects the #electronics http://marspedia.org/Hardened_electronics

Although #aluminum was not found to be as effective as other materials, it can still be helpful in reducing radiation doses https://phys.org/news/2022-06-shielding-surface-mars.html

Composite materials and composite #plastic offer 1.9 times the dose reduction compared to aluminum as well as high mechanical strength https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214552420300377

Solar storms are difficult to shield 🛡️ against and can dramatically increase radiation ☢️ exposure, posing potential risks to #astronaut 🧑‍🚀 health and #spacecraft systems. Current monitoring allows to predict the #SolarStorm impact only about 20 minutes ⏱️ beforehand. #ESA is exploring new shielding strategies and investigating the full range of #biological ⚕️ effects from high-energy particles to better protect crews and systems https://www.esa.int/Space_Safety/Space_weather/Lessons_from_the_November_2025_solar_storm

The risks with #SpaceRadiation ☢️ are assigned the highest priority among all risks associated with #SpaceTravel. Active shielding 🛡️ methods, which use #electromagnetic fields to deflect charged particles, can make #DeepSpace 🌌 travel safer and more feasible. Placing the passive shielding before the active shielding is more effective than placing the identical active shielding before the passive shielding of the same thickness https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214552423000391

#HERA consists of three #radiation ☢️ sensors installed in areas of #Orion that are shielded from radiation to varying degrees. In a high-energy radiation event, such as a #solar flare, the #astronauts would move to a more shielded part of Orion, opening the floor hatches and then installing #shielding 🛡️ material over their heads as additional protection https://www.dlr.de/en/latest/news/2024/orion-spacecraft-radiation-protection-tested-initial-findings-from-artemis-i-moon-mission

Earth remains under the influence of a waning high-speed #SolarWind ☀️ stream. No Earth-directed coronal mass ejections (#CMEs) were observed over the past 24 hours.

#Astronauts 👨‍🚀 travelling to #Mars would encounter #radiation ☢️ levels higher than humans have ever experienced, and be exposed to them for much longer.

To protect them, the #spacecraft would either have to be much bulkier, making launches expensive and difficult, or be made of more efficient #shielding 🛡️ materials. https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/space-missions/how-will-humans-survive-the-journey-to-mars

📆 1989 Had you been flying around the #Moon 🌙 at that time, you would have absorbed well over 6 Sieverts of radiation ☢️ - a dose that would most likely kill 💀 you within a month or so.

📆 2024 “It wasn’t possible 10 years ago. Using grid-like, porous structures we not only brought the weight down, but we also brought the needed power down from megawatts to 100 watts.

Traditional shielding strategies aim to reduce #astronaut radiation ☢️ exposure by increasing vehicle mass, but this is ineffective for the extremely penetrating #galactic cosmic rays. #Astronauts will face radiation hazards resulting from solar ☀️ activity that can create solar energetic particles. Active shielding 🛡️ approaches are likely a required component of any realistic solution (#electrostatic shielding) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0969806X22000494
