Abstract

Highly energized particles deliver ionizing radiation of galactic cosmic rays as well as solar particle events is a severe risk to the crews in long-term space missions. Two ground-based heavy ion experiment platforms simulating radiation environment of outer space have been established at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP), Chinese Academy of Sciences. One task of the Department of Space Radiobiology is to manage the platforms and provide support to the experimental studies carried out on the platforms. The other one is to conduct basic studies on space radiobiology to establish accurate risk assessment models of space radiation and develop efficient countermeasures for the long-term exploration in deep space.
