CREW RADIATION RISK — CURRENT
LOADING...
The Artemis II crew is beyond Earth's magnetosphere — fully exposed to solar particle events and galactic cosmic rays.
Mission Control monitors NOAA SWPC and NASA DONKI 24/7. An X-class flare or direct CME could require sheltering in Orion's crew module.

EVENT TYPES
☀
Solar Flare (FLR)
Radiation burst from Sun. X-class most dangerous.
💨
Coronal Mass Ejection
Plasma cloud. 1-3 days to reach Orion.
⚡
Geomagnetic Storm
Earth magnetosphere. Less risk at lunar distance.
☢
Solar Energetic Particles
Protons from flares. Immediate radiation risk.
📡
Radio Blackout
HF comms disruption. DSN S-band affected.
