"The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements reported that aircrew have the largest average annual effective dose (3.07 mSv) of all US radiation-exposed workers."
Yeah, I couldn't either. Just more micro-10 , 11 etc being launched.
That looks interesting but it seems to be a satellite to detect radiation rather than a biology study. Still important to quantify the rad levels though.
I don't think they pass through the radiation bands.
Nvm, they do, but very shortly and very low radiation doses.

I'm no expert, but that doesn't sound like good news. Hazard pay please.
I was reading somewhere about airline workers being "radiation workers"
Makes sense, as it's our atmosphere's job to reflect off the suns radiation, and there is less of it between you and the sun up there.

You dont have to go through the radiation bands to get messed up.. here's some random article about concerns https://phys.org/news/2014-02-microgravity-exposure-health-astronauts.html#:~:text=Astronauts%20floating%20weightlessly%20in%20the%20International%20Space%20Station,exposure%20add%20up%20to%20pose%20serious%20health%20risks.
Ooh, didn't know about the micro gravity altering gene expression.
Any idea how the micro 7 study turned out?
i cant find anything about it. only that they were awarded a contract https://wccftech.com/spacexs-multimillion-dollar-nasa-contract-to-let-agency-study-dangerous-solar-radiation/

Cool info for me to look into though. Thanks man.
