Study Suggests Radiation-Shielding Vest Protects Astronauts During Lunar Missions

A new study indicates a radiation-shielding vest, tested on a manikin during NASA's Artemis I mission, could significantly reduce astronaut exposure to solar storm radiation. This protective gear addresses a major threat for future lunar bases and Mars expeditions, with researchers now focused on optimizing its weight. The development is vital for long-duration space travel safety.
