Meeting Radiation Protection Requirements and Reducing Spacecraft Mass - A Multifunctional Materials Approach
2010
AIAA SPACE 2010 Conference & Exposition
unpublished
Both crew and radio-sensitive systems, especially electronics must be protected from the effects of the space radiation environment. One method of mitigating this radiation exposure is to use passive-shielding materials. In previous vehicle designs such as the International Space Station (ISS), materials such as aluminum and polyethylene have been used as parasitic shielding to protect crew and electronics from exposure, but these designs add mass and decrease the amount of usable volume inside
