Most ViewedWhy we can get past the Van Allen Radiation Belts
We can and have passed through the Van Allen radiation belts because they are spatially limited zones of trapped charged particles whose intensity varies in time and space; Apollo crews traversed them...

we can't leave low earth orbit due to van allen radiation belts
The Van Allen radiation belts are zones of energetic charged particles encircling Earth that vary in intensity and structure; they have been traversed by crewed missions (Apollo) and are manageable wi...

How were the astronauts and film from cameras not affected by the van Allen belts
Apollo crews and modern missions minimize Van Allen Belt risk by routing fast through thinner regions, using spacecraft shielding, and limiting time spent in high-radiation zones; NASA cited a 52‑minu...
