NASA prepares for intense sun storms on Mars during ‘solar maximum’
As Mars approaches a solar maximum, NASA is intensifying its focus on the increasing levels of radiation bombarding the planet.
Solar maximum occurs approximately every 11 years when the sun’s activity peaks, resulting in heightened solar flares and coronal mass ejections.
Unlike Earth, which is shielded by its magnetic field, Mars lacks such protection due to the loss of its global magnetic field.
Consequently, Mars and any spacecraft or future manned missions are more susceptible to intense solar activity.
To better understand the effects of radiation during solar events, NASA’s MAVEN orbiter and Curiosity rover will collaborate to study solar particles and radiation reaching Mars from both high above the planet and at its surface.
By analyzing the quantity and energy of solar particles, as well as the impact of radiation on the Martian atmosphere and surface, researchers aim to gauge the level of protection needed for astronauts exploring Mars, Space.com reported.
