Radi-N2 Neutron Field Study (RADI-N2)
iss050e000936 (11/7/2016) --- View of eight bubble detectors in pack during Radi-N2 deployment in the U.S. Laboratory for RADI-N2 experiment. Radi-N2 Neutron Field Study (Radi-N2) is a follow on investigation designed to characterize the neutron radiation environment aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Eight neutron “bubble detectors” produced by the Canadian company Bubble Technology Industries are attached to fixed locations inside the ISS, including one carried by a crew member. The objective of this investigation is to better characterize the ISS neutron environment and define the risk posed to the crew members’ health and provide the data necessary to develop advanced protective measures for future spaceflight.
