Problem Statement
Radiation exposure is a serious issue in manned space exploration. The impact of radiation on electronic equipment and other payloads is also a major concern. The knowledge base in these areas is typically developed through ground-based testing and modeling efforts. As a rule, there is no in-situ monitoring of various radiations and their energy levels during the missions as the equipment is bulky, expensive, and needs trained operators.
