How NASA might protect tomorrow's astronauts from deep space radiation
, designed to carefully and continually measure levels within the station as it makes its week-long oblong orbit around the moon.
have researched creating one small enough to fit on a spaceship, dubbed the Space Radiation Superconducting Shield .The €2.7 million SR2S program, which ran from 2013 to 2015, expanded on the idea of using superconducting magnets to generate a radiation-stopping magnetic force field first devised by ex-Nazi aerospace engineer Wernher von Braun in 1969.
It wouldn’t block all incoming radiation, but would efficiently screen out the most damaging types, like GCR, which flows through passive shielding like water through a colander. By lowering the rate at which astronauts are exposed to radiation, they’ll be able to serve on more and longer duration missions before hitting NASA’s lifetime exposure limit.
in 2014. “SR2S is the first project which not only investigates the principles and the scientific problems , but it also faces the complex issues in engineering.”showing the feasibility in using them
