How NASA Will Protect Astronauts From Space Radiation at the Moon

Space radiation is a critical factor for astronaut safety as they venture to the Moon. NASA is exploring a variety of techniques and technology to mitigate different types of radiation during space travel.

#LunarGateway : no #radiation shelter planned.

#ESA : Radiation poses a major #health #risk to people in #space. Astronauts on the #ISS receive doses roughly 120 times higher than on Earth. Away from Earth’s protective magnetic field, #astronauts πŸ‘¨β€πŸš€ receive roughly 250 times πŸ“ˆ more radiation than a person on #Earth 🌍" https://blogs.esa.int/exploration/internal-radiation-payload-approved-for-the-gateway

Smithsonian to get some of the asteroid sample that NASA brought back

Material from the asteroid Bennu will go to the Museum of Natural History, the Smithsonian said.
