This is Scientific American's 60-Second Space. I'm John Matson. Got a minute?

隐藏原文=

Even a perfect flight to Mars poses big health risks for astronauts.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Because once they were outside Earth's protective magnetic field, astronauts would be bombarded by radiation from cosmic rays and solar outbursts.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

But a side benefit of NASA's Curiosity rover mission is that we now know about how much radiation an interplanetary traveler would face.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

"The primary objective of RAD was to characterize the radiation environment on the surface of Mars."

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Donald Hassler, director of the Mars Science Laboratory Radiation Assessment Detector, or RAD, on Curiosity, at a press conference May 30th.

隐藏原文=

"But we realized about a year and a half before launch that taking measurements during the cruise phase on the way to Mars in deep space would be not so different than acting as a proxy for the radiation environment that a future human astronaut might experience in their spacecraft on their way to Mars.

隐藏原文=

So we turned RAD on about 10 days after the launch of Curiosity and we took about seven months of data."

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Using that data, mission scientists calculated that a Mars round-trip would expose a person to more than 100 times the average annual exposure of someone on Earth.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

And, critically, the radiation dose from a Mars trip could exceed the lifetime exposure limits space agencies have established for their astronauts,

隐藏原文=

increasing the chances of cancer and central nervous system damage.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Their report is in the journal Science.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Better shielding on a manned mission would help limit the risk, from both galactic cosmic rays and energetic particles from the sun.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

But keep in mind that Curiosity cruised to Mars during a relatively mild period of solar activity.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

If the sun acted up during an unlucky flight, astronauts would need extra protection to avoid taking a solar radiation beating.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Thanks for the minute, for Scientific American's 60-Second Space. I'm John Matson.
