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!

Can astronauts live in a moon base?

A moon base would be built more or less as the spacecrafts are built, except unmoving, larger, and with no engines. Think of Skylab or the International Space Station, only on the moon, and at least partially buried for cheap radiation shielding during the Sun's rare but dangerous solar flares. There is no reason why this would not work.

How are you protected from cosmic radiation from outer space?

Well not a lot actually. If there is a burst of radiation there is not a lot the can do about it. The people in side it will hide where there is the most space station between them and the radiation that includes hiding behind one an other. And for meteorites there is even less you can do about it besides moving out of the way. The station can protect itself from pea or pebble sized micrometeorites, thanks to its two separated layers of titanium alloy hull, but more than that and the station itself needs to maneuver out of the way or suffer huge amounts of damage.


Why do sea divers and astronauts need to wear special suits?

Both astronauts and sea divers wear special sits because they travel into atmospheres that are strange to our bodies. Our bodies were not built to stand extremely deep waters and outer space. The suits protect them as they go about their business in those places.


How do astronots get dressed in space?

Astronauts wear special space suits that are designed to protect them from the extreme conditions of space, such as vacuum, temperature fluctuations, and radiation. They put on their suits inside the spacecraft or space station before going out on a spacewalk or conducting tasks in space. The suits are equipped with multiple layers for insulation, life support systems, communications equipment, and built-in gloves and boots.

Are a space shuttle and a spacecraft the same things?

fundamentally all things that fly into space are spacecrafts. There are two tipes of manned spacecrafts: spaceplanes and capsules . Apollo, Gemini, Mercury were capsules, also soyuz. Space Shuttle orbiter and Sovietic Buran Shuttle are a kind of spaceplanes. can be defined space shuttle also anything that can easily carry cargo or astronauts to space: the Space Shuttle stack is able to carry about 25 metric tons, that make it a unique blend of cargo and human transport skills, essential to the Space Station to be built

What are some interesting features of the spacesuit?

Spacesuits have built-in life support systems, including oxygen tanks, temperature regulation capabilities, and waste management systems. They are designed to protect astronauts from extreme temperatures, radiation, and micrometeoroids while providing mobility and dexterity for tasks in space. Spacesuits also have communication systems that allow astronauts to communicate with each other and with mission control on Earth.
