Spend a single day outside our planet's protective atmosphere and magnetic field, and you could be exposed to radiation levels equivalent to what you'd experience across a whole year back on Earth. It's a risk astronauts face,
The article from MSN discusses a potential breakthrough in astronaut safety for long-duration space missions, particularly trips to Mars, where radiation exposure is a significant concern. Researchers are exploring the use of 3D-printed hydrogels as a new form of radiation shielding. These hydrogels, which can be printed in space, are composed of water, polymers, and other materials that can absorb and scatter radiation effectively. The idea is to create a protective layer around spacecraft or habitats using these materials, which could be produced on-demand in space, reducing the need to launch heavy shielding from Earth. This innovation not only promises to protect astronauts from harmful cosmic and solar radiation but also offers a lightweight, adaptable solution that could be crucial for the sustainability of long-term space exploration.
