On December 3rd, 2018, 6 years after Chris Hadfield’s Radi-N2 mission, Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques will be launching to the International Space Station (ISS) to perform radiation measurements during his six-month mission. These measurements will be conducted as part of the Radi-N2 experiment, an experiment that measures astronauts’ exposure to potentially dangerous neutron radiation using […]

The Radi-N2 experiment aims to characterize neutron radiation in various locations of the International Space Station (ISS). As part of this experiment, bubble detectors produced by Bubble Technology Industries were deployed in the JPM1D5 area of the ISS. The dose information gathered from these detectors will be used to assess the neutron radiation exposure of astronauts […]
