Solar Radiation Bursts
May Delay Space Program
WASHINGTON (NEA) There's
growing evidence of a new type of
here-today-and-gone-lomorrow radi
ation in the heavens that may delay
manned space travel for years.
This radiation is so deadly at
times just 100 or so miles out
in space that it would doom to
death half the space travelers ex
posed for just 30 minutes.
Commander Malcolm Ross of the
Office of Naval Research says:
- "This new radiation tends to
make the hazards of the Van Allen
radiation belts seem pale by com
parison." Though it has not been accurately
' mapped, there is some evidence
this ' new radiation occurs about
once every two months. It doesn't
teem to be predictable though.
The time this dangerous radia
tion lasts is also erratic. It may
eight days, or only one. But the
"usual" period of High . danger
teems to be from three to seven
days.
j To protect men in a space ship
from this radiation would take a
prohibitive amount of lead
shielding. It might, in fact, in
crease the weight of the actual
pace ship itself by several times.
Present guessing is that there
would have to be three to four
inches of lead shielding around a
space ship to protect space men
adequately during one of these
bursts of r a d i a t i 0 n.
That added weight would be well
beyond the capability of present
man-carrying space travel pro
grams or even thinking. That
means added years in finding a
lighter-than-lead protection from
the newly-found radiation. Or extra
years to perfect blast off engines
larger than heretofore thought
necessary.
This "new" radiation apparently
extends all through our solar sys-
: tern. It is scattered and made
relatively harmless by the earth's
, "atmosphere, therefore it doesn't
affect us seriously here on earth.
No one knows for certain how it
occurs. But it is definitely different
from the so-called Van Allen belts
of radiation around the earth. The
.Van Allen belts, though not always
"of the same size or intensity, ap
parently cover a large but some
what limited area in space. This
"new" radiation goes on forever
through space.
; It occurs in erratic bursts which
.leem to be set off by the giant
"solar flares" on the sun. The
radiation particles themselves seem
to be protons the small particles
which are the hearts of hydrogen
atoms.
'. But there is no evidence that
all sun eruptions or sun flares
let off a shower of these par
ticular bombarding particles. So at
fcresent there's no way of knowing
fchen a space man U going to
run nlo a shower of this killing
radiation until it's too late.
For at the peak, he may if
he's well out in space receive
radiation at the rate of about 1,000
Roentgens an hour. And that may
give him a killing dose in half
an hour.
This radiation has been studied
in cooperation with the Office of
Naval Research by a team of
scientists at the University of Minn
