Scalable Radiation Monitor (RadMon on ISS)

This project from POLSA/ESA will use a radiation monitor inside the ISS’s Columbus module to measure space radiation levels. A larger version of this device has already been deployed inside the tunnels of CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator to monitor for possible radiation damage to electronics. This experiment aims to refine radiation models for space environments and support the planning for future deep-space missions, where space radiation can cause damage to human bodies and electronics. On Earth, this technology could enhance radiation monitoring in various healthcare and industrial settings.
