Space Radiation

Ionizing radiation is radiation with sufficient energy to remove electrons from the orbits of atoms resulting in charged.
Space radiation. Non ionizing radiation is radiation without sufficient energy to remove electrons from their orbits. Once astronauts venture beyond earth s protective atmosphere they are exposed to the high energy charged particles of galactic cosmic rays and solar particle events spe and secondary protons and neutrons. Altitude above the earth at higher altitudes the earth s magnetic field is weaker so there is less protection against. Solar cycle the sun has an 11 year cycle which culminates in a dramatic increase in the number and intensity of.
