Measurements of the absorbed dose and dose equivalent from galactic cosmic rays and solar energetic particles on the martian surface for ~300 days of observations during the current solar maximum provide insight into the radiation hazards associated with a human mission to the surface of Mars and provide an anchor point with which to model the subsurface radiation environment.

Measurements of the energetic particle radiation environment inside the spacecraft during its cruise to Mars confirm the hazard likely to be posed by this radiation to astronauts on a future potential trip to Mars, and provide insights into the radiation hazards that would be associated with a human mission to Mars.

Uncertainties in estimating health risks from galactic cosmic rays greatly limit space mission lengths and potential risk mitigation evaluations. NASA limits astronaut exposures to a 3% risk of…
Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Circulatory Disease from Exposure to Low-Level Ionizing Radiation and Estimates of Potential Population Mortality Risks

- 22 June 2012
The review supports an association between circulatory disease mortality and low and moderate doses of ionizing radiation, and suggests that overall radiation-related mortality is about twice that currently estimated based on estimates for cancer end points alone.
MODELING THE ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS OF ASTRONAUTS FROM EXPOSURE TO LARGE SOLAR PARTICLE EVENTS

- 1 April 2009
It is shown that exposure to some historically large solar events on lunar and/or Mars missions would cause moderate early health effects to crew members inside a typical spacecraft or during extra-vehicular activities, if effective shielding and medical countermeasure tactics were not provided.
