FAIR for Space Radiation Research

The exposure to the space radiation environment remains a major limiting factor for human long-duration space missions due to its high biological effectiveness and the difficulties to effectively shield the radiation. The next decade in human spaceflight will be characterized by a continuous presence of human beings in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), by their return to the Moon and by longer stays in a Moon orbit on the Lunar Orbital Platform - Gateway (LOP-G). These endeavours are also performed to prepare for a human Mars mission.
