Comparing Radiation Shielding Potential of Liquid Propellants to Water for Application in Space
The radiation environment in space is a threat that engineers and astronauts need to mitigate as exploration into the solar system expands. Passive shielding involves placing as much material between critical components and the radiation environment as possible. However, with mass and size budgets,...
