Exploring innovative radiation shielding approaches in space: A material and design study for a wearable radiation protection spacesuit - PubMed

We present a design study for a wearable radiation-shielding spacesuit, designed to protect astronauts' most radiosensitive organs. The suit could be used in an emergency, to perform necessary interventions outside a radiation shelter in the space habitat in case of a Solar Proton Event (SPE). A wea …
