Czech Radiation Chips Enhance Safety on NASA's Artemis II Mission
Czech company ADVACAM has provided radiation-sensing chips for NASA's Artemis II mission. These chips, embedded in the Hybrid Electronic Radiation Assessor (HERA), measure cosmic radiation effects on astronauts and spacecraft electronics. The technology, developed in collaboration with CERN and other institutions, aims to verify the effectiveness of radiation shielding on the Orion spacecraft. The data collected will contribute to safer future spaceflights by improving radiation protection strategies.
