Ground Station Radiation Shielding

Ground Station Radiation Shielding is a space design control that reduces exposure from charged particles and solar events for antenna, scheduling, and downlink operations. It uses material selection, safe modes, and exposure modeling so teams can protect electronics and crews from known hazards while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.

“The mission team used Ground Station Radiation Shielding when the antenna handoff began, so the team could protect electronics and crews from known hazards before the next mission decision point.”
