"In particular, sporadic solar energetic particles (SEPs) generated via extreme solar eruptions may enhance the lunar or Martian surface radiation levels to potentially hazardous values."
Two rovers of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) reportedly detected the October 2021 solar storm. Its Lunar Reconnaisance Orbiter clocked in just 31 milligray (mGy), while the Mars-based Curiosity rover detected a measly 0.3 mGy. The European Space Agency's (ESA) ExoMars program meanwhile measured nine mGy. According to the ESA, "a radiation dose above 700 mGy … may induce radiation sickness via destruction of the bone marrow, resulting in symptoms such as infection and internal bleeding." If an astronaut receives more than 10 Gy, they are greatly improbable to survive more than two weeks. Protecting astronauts as they set out into space is a vital and critical task for NASA's European counterpart. Thus, understanding and predicting severe radiation events is an essential part of this mission. Specialized instruments measure the radiation environment in space and are utilized to protect crucial space-borne and ground-based infrastructure as well as the astronauts. If warned on time, astronauts on planetary surfaces could look for protection in bodywear or shelter in caves. The present policy on the International Space Station is to withdraw to the sleeping quarters or the kitchen, where walls protect against radiation.
