Radiation exposure in space is expected to increase the risk of cancer and other adverse
biological effects in astronauts. The types of space radiation of particular concern for …

Astronauts assigned to long-duration beyond-earth-orbit space missions will be exposed to
numerous forms of radiation that differ from radiation humans encounter on Earth. Currently …

Abstract Space travel increases galactic cosmic ray exposure to flight crews and this is
significantly elevated once travel moves beyond low Earth orbit. This includes combinations …
