Space 3D Podcast di Eleanor O'Rangers

Note sull'episodio

This is the conclusion of our interview with physicist and space radiation expert Jeff Chancellor.

Jeff is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Louisiana State University with research interests in applications of how heavy ion radiation interacts with soft and condensed matter for ground-based analogs, manned spaceflight vehicle structure, shielding, and clinical healthcare.

Part 3 of our interview starts with a discussion of options for radiation shielding of astronauts during interplanetary travel and while on the surface of either the moon or Mars. We’ll discuss how certain radiation risks may vary according to the solar cycle--- and then we’ll transition to radiation event risk prediction…. Which at best, is an evolving and still somewhat unpredictable discipline. We’ll learn about how NASA’s tolerance for radiation risk is evolv ...
