Space Radiation Measurements

Space radiation measurements involve assessing the high-energy particles and radiation that space travelers and spacecraft are exposed to beyond Earth's atmosphere. These measurements use specialized instruments to detect particles from solar flares, cosmic rays, and other sources, providing data on their intensity and energy levels. This information is crucial for developing protective measures, ensuring spacecraft and astronaut safety, and understanding space environment risks. Accurate measurement helps scientists predict and mitigate potential harm from radiation during long-duration missions or space exploration activities.
