Agnirva Space Premier League - Expedition #31963: Understanding Neutron Radiation on the ISS: The Radi-N2 Study

The Radi-N2 Neutron Field Study is an important experiment focusing on neutron radiation in space, conducted by Leena Tomi of the Canadian Space Agency and Martin Smith from Bubble Technology Industries. This experiment spans multiple ISS expeditions and contributes significantly to our understanding of radiation exposure for astronauts. Neutron radiation, which is present in the space environment, can pose serious risks to both human health and the integrity of spacecraft. The data gathered from this study will help in the development of better shielding techniques and improve the safety of future space missions. The experiment involves the use of advanced neutron detection technology and aims to assess the radiation environment aboard the ISS to enhance the design of long-duration spacecraft. With the participation of Canadian Space Agency and Bubble Technology Industries, the experiment emphasizes the international collaboration essential for advancing space exploration.
