    Developed with support from the UK Space Agency, the Materials in Orbital Radiation Environments Database (MORED) tool aims to assists in the design of spacecraft systems when dealing with the impact of radiation on materials and electrical components in orbit.
    Currently, the barrier to entry in terms of designing and putting a payload into space is decreasing. This allows for a wider...

    Australia’s first Moon rover, Roo-ver, is scheduled to launch to the Moon later this decade where it will be remotely operated to explore the surface for a full lunar day (around 14 Earth days). Roo-ver is being designed, built and tested in Australia by the ELO2 Consortium as part of the Australian Space Agency’s Moon to Mars initiative. This project received grant funding from the Australian...

    For more than 20 years, FASTRAD® software has been a worldwide reference tool for advanced radiation dose analysis and shielding optimization. It’s permanently developed and optimized to consider the shielding in the most realistic way, allowing users to import their complex model and deal with realistic materials. FASTRAD® software includes numerous modelling, computing and post-processing...

    The accurate assessment of radiation shielding performance is a key challenge in space mission design, requiring advanced modelling capabilities to capture complex particle interactions. Within ESA, a suite of simulation tools based on the Geant4 Monte Carlo framework has been developed to support shielding analysis, instrument response modelling, and radiation effects studies across a wide...

    Radiation shielding assessment is an important step in the design and qualification of spacecraft and scientific instruments. Efficient analyses require a consistent workflow covering geometry definition, material management, interoperability with radiation transport tools and both fast and accurate shielding evaluations. This contribution presents an integrated modelling approach implemented...

    Multilayer radiation shielding is only effective if it is optimised for the specific radiation environment in which it is used. Even though the parameter space of possible multilayer radiation shielding configurations is infinite, it can be systematically explored using Monte Carlo particle transport codes like the ESA software Geant4 Radiation Analysis for Space (GRAS) and the MUlti LAyer...
