Space scientists from the University of New Hampshire (UNH) and the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) report that data gathered by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) show lighter materials like plastics provide effective shielding against the radiation hazards faced by astronauts during extended space travel. The finding could help reduce health risks to humans on future missions into deep space.

The evidence comes from strings of iron beads which were excavated in 1911 at the Gerzeh cemetery, a burial site approximately 70km south of Cairo. Dating from 3350 to 3600BC, thousands of years before Egypt’s Iron Age, the bead analysed was originally assumed to be from a meteorite owing to its composition of nickel-rich iron.
A team of researchers led by Ephraim Gutmark, the Ohio Regents Eminent Scholar Chaired Professor of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at UC, and including UC doctoral students Brian Dolan, David Munday and Rodrigo Villalva, is working with United Technology Aerospace Systems (UTAS) to develop a more efficient jet engine that produces fewer emissions. The effort is an outgrowth of NASA’s Environmentally Responsible Aviation Project, which explores vehicle concepts and technologies designed to reduce the impact of aviation on the environment.
