outside the earth’s atmosphere in an effort to better understand the detrimental effects of prolonged exposure on astronauts.
“On a mission to Mars, an astronaut may receive the equivalent radiation dose that we would receive in our whole life on Earth,” Andrei Hanu, the project’s creator and co-principal investigator, said in a release. “This has the potential to increase the risk of cancer or cataract formation, in addition to the other physiological challenges that astronauts would have to battle on their journey.”
Hanu, who is an adjunct professor in McMaster’s department of Physics and Astronomy and a senior scientist at Bruce Power, came up with the idea while working as a post-doctoral researcher at NASA in 2014. Work on NEUDOSE began in January 2015 with a poster campaign on McMaster’s campus and a meeting of student volunteers.
The world has so many serious problems and we screw around with our space toys. It is a form of escapism.
Congratulations for all your hard work!
