NewzA new study indicates that a radiation-protective vest, tested on a manikin during NASA’s Artemis I mission, could significantly reduce radiation exposure for astronauts during severe solar storms. The findings were reported by scientists on Wednesday, highlighting the potential for enhanced safety measures for future lunar exploration.
The vest was evaluated to determine its efficacy in mitigating the risks posed by high-energy solar events. By protecting crew members from radiation, this technology aims to address a critical health challenge for long-duration missions beyond Earth's protective magnetic field.
