UNH Astrophysicists Create First Web-based Tool for Predicting Space Radiation Risks
Astrophysicists from UNH’s Space Science Center (SSC) have created the first online system for predicting and forecasting the radiation environment in near-Earth, lunar, and Martian space environments. The near real-time tool will provide critical information as preparations are made for potential future manned missions to the moon and Mars.Associate professor of physics Nathan Schwadron of the...
