What instrument measures radiation in space?
Geiger counters for measuring how much radiation is going on *now*. Dosimeters are carried by the astronauts in order to determine their total radiation dose during the mission.

Spacesuits can protect astronauts from the cold, give them air and sometimes reduce radiation levels.
How are spacecrafts and space suit built to protect astronauts from radiation?
Most radiation in space is particle radiation, which can be stopped dead by pretty much anything. The aluminum hull of the craft, the cloth of the suits. Particle radiation is pretty puny, so even a few sheets of newspaper would do. So much for the Moon Hoax believers who think it would take 6 feet of lead to protect the astronauts!
Why do astronauts have to wear shield protection?
Everyone needs to be protected against radiation, because radiation in strong doses can Kill or injure. A small amount that a person receives in an x-ray will do no harm; but, too strong a dose of radiation is very dangerous. Radiation is greater in outer space than it is on the earth, because, we are protected from radiation on earth by the atmosphere. Astronauts in outer space have no such protection.
The UV and the x-ray radiation takes more than eight minutes to travel from the sun to the Earth at the speed of light Whythen must the astronauts protect themselves instantly when they observe a flar?
Because the fact that the astronauts can see a flare means that the light has already reached them ,and due to the fact that a flare has a certain duration be it long or short, they protect themselves immediately to avoid further absorption of harmful radiation
