Human Space Flight Services

Information

Human spaceflight is by necessity the least risk-tolerant activity in space. The health and safety of the crew must remain paramount at all times. The radiation environment is the main hazard, even in Low Earth Orbit where the benefits of the Earth's natural magnetic shielding remain strong. With more distant manned missions again on the horizon the additional risks encountered in interplanetary space call for careful consideration.

Services

In-flight crew radiation exposure Aims to provide information which can be used to help estimate in-flight radiation doses.
Cumulative crew radiation exposure Aims to provide an estimate of the past radiation dose accumulated by a person in space.
Increased crew radiation exposure risk Aims to provide information which can be used to help estimate the expected in-flight radiation dose.
