Task Book: Entry Unavailable
Principal Investigator: Slaba, Tony
Short Title: GSAM
Responsible HRP Element: Space Radiation
Collaborating Org(s):
Other:
Funding Status: Active - Currently funded and in progress
Procurement Mechanism(s):
Directed
Aims:

GSAM project provides delivery scheme of low and high LET particles to best simulate 600/900 day Mars missions within facility and animal constraints.

  • Studies required to inform countermeasure testing and validation
  • Fluence based versus acute exposures to simulate space radiation 

 

GSAM (GCR Simulation and Mitigation) research objectives:

 

Aim 1:  Design and implement Hybrid Shield Concept to simulate GCR environment at NSRL to include production of secondaries and correlated multiplicities found in space

Aim 2:  Validate ground simulation of dose rate including fractionation and time course delivery of particles to simulate low dose chronic exposures in space.  

Aim 3: Evaluation of dose delivery scheme with biological timescales to inform chronic studies.

Aim 4: Expand design and implement Mars surface simulation at NSRL to include mixed field environment found on Mars surface.
