  • Protecting Artemis and lunar explorers from space radiation ☢️ #shorts

    Protecting Artemis and lunar explorers from space radiation ☢️ #shorts

    Cosmic radiation is considered to be the main health hazard for humans on exploration missions. Far away from the protection of Earth’s magnetic field, the radiation doses could be up to 700 times higher than on our planet.

    For long-term human activity at the Moon, we need to monitor the lunar radiation environment directly.

    Two sources of radiation are of concern: galactic cosmic radiation from outside the galaxy and the unpredictable but virulent charged particles coming from our own Sun.

    Cosmic radiation is always there, and it is also the main source of radiation for increasing the crew’s risk of cancer in missions to the Moon and Mars. The solar events deliver a high amount of radiation in a short period of time, leading to radiation sickness, with symptoms such as nausea and fatigue.

  • Asteroid impact 2028: Protecting our planet

    Asteroid impact 2028: Protecting our planet

    It’s the year 2028, and we’ve been carefully monitoring a worrying situation: an enormous asteroid is en route to strike Earth, although the exact point of impact is not yet clear.

    National governments are planning to evacuate millions of people, an undertaking that will cause untold human misery and disruption on a gigantic scale. If the asteroid’s impact zone can be fixed, perhaps such chaos can be avoided.

    As precious hours pass, find out how our Planetary Defence Office is able to obtain crucial information on this potential disaster as part of the Agency’s Space Safety and Security activities.

    Back to the present day: Find out more about how we are preparing to protect our pale blue dot, its inhabitants and the vital satellite systems on which we have become so dependent.

  • Space: for protecting our environment

    Space: for protecting our environment

    Space touches us all on Earth – it is used for protecting our environment, for improving our everyday lives, for safety and security, and for stimulating our need for knowledge. Space is a key asset for Europe to face global challenges, for boosting our economic growth, for building our future.
