Information - M3 Hazards in Interplanetary Space and on Other Planets: Science, Engineering and Health
Event Information
Spacecraft have to survive very hostile environments which can severely limit space missions as well as pose threats to humans. Hazards in the heliospere include UV, X and gamma-radiation, energetic charged particles (keV-TeV), plasmas (energetic (keV) and low-energy (eV)) and "neutrals" (space debris and meteoroids). Furthermore radiation belts (protons and electrons) around planets (e.g. Jupiter, Saturn, etc.) provide obstacles for planetary missions dedicated to study these targets. Be it in transit, on Mars or a different planet, the local space weather conditions will be a function of our location in the solar system. This session invites abstracts regarding the obstacles that must be overcome to realize interplanetary travel considering the feasibility to use and integrate existing systems (e.g. forecasting), as well as presenting innovative mitigation techniques.
