Apollo astronauts who traversed the Van Allen radiation belts received a small, non‑lethal dose: dosimeter and post‑flight badge analysis indicate exposures on the order of a few to a few tens of rads...
The Van Allen radiation belts are regions of trapped energetic charged particles whose local intensities can be orders of magnitude higher than the typical background encountered in low Earth orbit (L...
Recent unmanned missions and studies have sharpened the picture of the belts as a dynamic, sometimes intense radiation environment that poses a real but manageable hazard to ; they have not suddenly m...
