论文摘要
在评估未来太空探索的前景的情况下,宇宙辐射是宇航员安全的关键因素。火星科学实验室任务发起的好奇心漫游车上的辐射评估检测器(RAD)收集了有价值的数据,以对从地球到火星旅行期间的航天器内的高能粒子辐射环境进行建模,目前在火星本身上进行了相同的操作。火星奥德赛卫星上的火星辐射实验(Marie)提供了对火星轨道吸收的辐射剂量的估计,预计该剂量与火星表面上的辐射剂量相似。结合起来,这些数据提供了对载有火星任务的辐射危害的可靠评估。使用Rad和Marie的数据,我们重新检查了乘员飞往火星的船员的风险,并讨论了太空探索的最新发展。
Cosmic radiation is a critical factor for astronauts' safety in the context of evaluating the prospect of future space exploration. The Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) on board the Curiosity Rover launched by the Mars Scientific Laboratory mission collected valuable data to model the energetic particle radiation environment inside a spacecraft during travel from Earth to Mars, and is currently doing the same on the surface of Mars itself. The Martian Radiation Experiment (MARIE) on board the Mars Odyssey satellite provides estimates of the absorbed radiation dose in the Martian orbit, which are predicted to be similar to the radiation dose on Mars' surface. In combination, these data provide a reliable assessment of the radiation hazards for a manned mission to Mars. Using data from RAD and MARIE we reexamine the risks for a crew on a manned flight to Mars and discuss recent developments in space exploration.
