Space missions subject human beings or any other target of a
spacecraft to a radiation environment of an intensity and
composition not available on earth. Whereas for missions in low
earth orbit (LEO), such as those using the Space Shuttle or Space
Station scenario, radiation exposure guidelines have been developed
and have been adopted by spacefaring agencies, for exploratory
class missions that will take the space travellers outside the
protective confines of the geomagnetic field sufficient guidelines
for radiation protection are still outstanding. For a piloted Mars
mission, the whole concept of radiation protection needs to be
reconsidered. Since there is an increasing interest ci many nations
and space agencies in establishing a lunar base and lor exploring
Mars by manned missions, it is both, timely and important to
develop appropriate risk estimates and radiation protection
guidelines which will have an influence on the design and structure
of space vehicles and habitation areas of the extraterrestrial
settlements. This book is the result of a multidisciplinary effort
to assess the state of art in our knowledge on the radiation
situation during deep space missions and on the impact of this
complex radiation environment on the space traveller. ]t comprises
the lectures by the faculty members as well as short contributions
by the students given at the NATO Advanced Study Institute
"Biological Effects and Physics of Solar and Galactic Cosmic
Radiation" held in Armacao de Pera, Portugal, 12-23 October, 1991.
