Description:
The Martian Radiation Environment Experiment will measure the radiation environment on the way to Mars and in the Martian orbit. Space radiation comes from cosmic rays emitted by our local star, the sun, and from stars beyond our solar system as well. Similar instruments are flown on the Space Shuttles and on the International Space Station (ISS), but none have ever flown outside of Earth's protective magnetosphere, which blocks much of this radiation from reaching the surface of our planet.
