Abstract
Human beings are considering going back to the Moon and eventually to Mars within the next decades. However, we are still facing one major hurdle ``space radiation'' which is a significant and unavoidable risk for crews' health, especially for long-term stays at future lunar or martian stations. In particular, sporadic solar energetic particles (SEPs) generated via extreme solar eruptions may enhance the lunar or martian surface radiation levels to potentially hazardous values. Recent lunar and martian surface and orbital radiation detectors have advanced our understanding of the radiation environment of both planetary bodies. We have used the state-of-the-art modeling appoaches to study the radiation environment of the Moon and Mars. In particular, we study and compare the potential radiation effects of historically large SEP events on the surface and subsurface of the Moon and Mars.
