Measurements of energetic particle radiation in transit to Mars on the Mars Science Laboratory. Science. 2013 May 31;340(6136):1080-4. http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/23723233<\/a> NOTE: The Radiation Assessment Detector, carried on the Mars Science Laboratory, was supported in part by HEOMD at NASA. This article was discussed in numerous press accounts and was highlighted in a \"News&Analysis\" short article in Science (PubMed 23723213). From that short article: \"RAD's bottom line was that a round trip to Mars would give an astronaut a hefty dose of damaging radiation. Zeitlin and colleagues converted RAD measurements of energetic particle abundances, energies, and masses into a measure of biological damage called sieverts, which is related to lifetime cancer risk. During a 360-day round trip, an astronaut would receive a dose of about 662 millisieverts (mSv), according to RAD measurements. National space agencies limit exposure to about 1000 mSv or less during an astronaut's entire career; NASA's limit corresponds to a 3% risk of exposure-induced death from cancer.\" <\/p>\n 6 Liu C, Kawata T, Furusawa Y, Zhou G, Inoue K, Fukada J, Kota R, George K, Cucinotta F, Okayasu R.
