Article Synopsis
  • The International Partner Agencies of the ISS compare radiation exposure and risk during lunar missions, focusing on ionizing radiation absorbed doses and related risk factors.
  • They modeled a scenario simulating a 30-day lunar mission, examining radiation from galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) and solar particle events (SPE) using simple shield geometries and body phantoms.
  • Results provide insights into how consistently space agencies can assess organ dosimetry and effective doses, with findings set to be included in an upcoming ICRP report.

Galactic cosmic rays (GCR) pose a serious threat to astronauts' health during deep space missions. The possible functional alterations of the central nervous system (CNS) under GCR exposure can be critical for mission success. Despite the obvious negative effects of ionizing radiation, a number of neutral or even positive effects of GCR irradiation on CNS functions were revealed in ground-based experiments with rodents and primates.

We propose a method for mapping optical near-fields with the help of a thermocouple scanning-probe microscope tip. As the tip scans the sample surface, its apex is heated by light absorption, generating a thermovoltage. The thermovoltage map represents the intensity distribution of light at the sample surface.
