SPACE RADIATION ELEMENT

The Space Radiation Element (SRE) of NASA’s Human Research Program (HRP) seeks
to characterize human health outcomes associated with space radiation exposure,
helping the space agency build strategies that protect astronaut health and
ensure safe human spaceflight.





LEARN MORE ABOUT SRE





ABOUT SRE

Astronauts will be exposed to increased levels of ionizing radiation on missions
outside Earth's protective atmosphere. SRE helps understand how this ionizing
radiation affects the human body.

Read About SRE


SPACE RADIATION RISKS

See the risks of human spaceflight that the SRE investigate to help ensure the
health and safety of astronauts in low-Earth orbit and beyond.

See the Risks of Space Radiation


MEET THE TEAM

Meet the team behind SRE, including element managers and scientists who help
facilitate research aboard the International Space Station and in simulations on
Earth.

Meet the SRE Team


COLLABORATE WITH US

Find different ways to collaborate with NASA’s HRP and help us discover how to
keep the next generation of space explorers thriving on future missions to the
Moon, Mars, and beyond.

Explore Collaboration Opportunities


VIDEO SERIES: WHAT IS SPACE RADIATION?

Our space radiation miniseries discusses what causes space radiation, how space
radiation affects the human body, how NASA protects astronauts, and more.

Watch Here about Video Series: What Is Space Radiation?




EXPLORE SPACE RADIATION

Check out courses, established models, methods for sharing samples, and
encyclopedic reference material useful for studying risks posed by space
radiation.





NASA’S SHINE PROGRAM

Researchers can apply for virtual courses that provide an overview of the space
radiation environment and how it impacts human health.

Discover NASA's SHINE Program


MODELS THAT QUANTIFY RISK

Software that model the space radiation environment is available for download by
authorized users.

Discover Models that Quantify Risk


TISSUE SHARING FORUM

Samples collected from studies funded by SRE are now available to investigators
in the space radiation research community.

Discover the Tissue Sharing Forum


THE HEALTH RISKS OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS (THREE)

THREE is an encyclopedic reference site that explains the space radiation
environment and its health risks to humans.

Discover THREE


DELVE INTO SELECTED PROJECTS

SRE contributes to several cutting-edge research efforts. Below are just a few.





NASA SPACE RADIATION LABORATORY (NSRL)

NSRL helps to assess health risks associated with cosmic radiation. To better
understand these risks, NASA has teamed with the U.S. Department of Energy to
establish this lab. 

Explore NASA's Space Radiation Laboratory


SPACE RADIATION ANALYSIS GROUP (SRAG)

SRAG, based at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, works to ensure that the
radiation exposure received by astronauts remains below established safety
limits.

Learn About SRAG


WHITE HOUSE CANCER MOONSHOT

SRE scientists are working with doctors and researchers across the federal
government to help cut the nation’s cancer death rate by at least 50% over the
next 25 years.

Learn About the White House Cancer Moonshot


NASA SPACE CANCER RISK MODEL

Watch a webinar about how NASA models the differences between space and
terrestrial radiation to assess the risk of astronauts developing cancer from
space radiation exposure.
