Hi all! :tiphat:
A two months ago I visited a conference dedicated to high-power energy flows (both microwave and laser). It was very boring except one report dedicated to manned trip to mars. lecturer put a special attention to problem of high power space radiation. While low-power rays is harmful for peoples (especially for eyes), high power iones can ever damage a solar sells or any other semiconductor device. In case that trip is very long and there are no way to give any extra supply to astronauts that problem seems very important to find a solution. Lecturer says that hull able to resist that rays is too weightly to being use is space.
So, can anybody suggest a solution?
