Radiation in Space : Relevance and Risk for Human Missions
Hellweg, Christine E.
Radiation in Space : Relevance and Risk for Human Missions by Christine E. Hellweg, Thomas Berger, Daniel Matthiä, Christa Baumstark-Khan - First edition - 1 recurso en línea (XXIV, 111 páginas) 34 ilustraciones, 21 ilustraciones a color - SpringerBriefs in Space Life Sciences 2196-5560 Biomedical and Life Sciences (SpringerNature-11642) Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0) (SpringerNature-43708) .
Chapter 1. General Introduction -- Chapter 2. Radiation in Space: The Physics -- Chapter 3. Radiation in Space: The Biology -- Chapter 4. Radiation Risk Assessment -- Chapter 5. Space Radiation Countermeasures -- Chapter 6. Challenges for Exploratory Missions.-.
This volume of the series Springer Briefs in Space Life Sciences explains the physics and biology of radiation in space, defines various forms of cosmic radiation and their dosimetry, and presents a range of exposure scenarios. It also discusses the effects of radiation on human health and describes the molecular mechanisms of heavy charged particles' deleterious effects in the body. Lastly, it discusses countermeasures and addresses the vital question: Are we ready for launch? Written for researchers in the space life sciences and space biomedicine, and for master's students in biology, physics, and medicine, the book will also benefit all non-experts endeavoring to understand and enter space.
