Dose Limits and Countermeasures for Mitigating Radiation Risk in Moon and Mars Exploration
After decades of research on low-Earth orbit, national space agencies and private entrepreneurs are investing in exploration of the Solar system. The main health risk for human space exploration is late toxicity caused by exposure to cosmic rays. On Earth, the exposure of radiation workers is regula...
