NASA Selects Space Radiation Projects

NASA has selected 17 space radiation projects for development. The projects will be designed to reduce the health risks crews of missions to the moon and Mars might face from exposure to radiation.

The 17 projects were selected from 98 proposals received from academia and government laboratories. The potential value of the selected proposals is about 15 million dollars! It will be interesting to see which final proposal is selected...
