Protecting astronauts from cosmic rays and solar radiation is a priority for long-duration space missions. Women materials scientists and engineers are developing enhanced spacecraft shielding technologies that are more effective and lighter weight than current solutions. These include novel materials and magnetic field generation techniques that could offer dynamic protection from radiation, reducing the risk to astronaut health and ensuring safer deep space exploration.
