#Galactic cosmic rays consist of high energy protons (85%), alpha particles (14%) and other high energy nuclei. #Solar ☀️ energetic particles consist primarily of protons accelerated by the Sun to high energies via proximity to solar flares and coronal mass ejections. The quantitative biological effects of cosmic rays are poorly known.

Traditional shielding strategies aim to reduce #astronaut radiation ☢️ exposure by increasing vehicle mass, but this is ineffective for the extremely penetrating #galactic cosmic rays. #Astronauts will face radiation hazards resulting from solar ☀️ activity that can create solar energetic particles. Active shielding 🛡️ approaches are likely a required component of any realistic solution (#electrostatic shielding) sciencedirect.com/science/arti
