Description
Hands-on exercise part of a toolkit introducing upper-secondary students to the hazardous space environment and its potential impact on astronauts. This exercise instructs the student in using the Space Environment Information System (SPENVIS) on-line tool to assess the equivalent dose received by astronauts during the commercial space mission Fram2.
Launched on April 1, 2025, 01:47 UTC from Kennedy Space Center, the mission placed the Crew Dragon Resilience capsule into a retrograde polar orbit (inclination 90.01°, period ~93 minutes). The mission ended on April 4, 2025, 16:19 UTC, when the capsule splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, near Oceanside, California.
The exercise was part of the student workshop on space radiation in the frame of the ASGARD@spacepole activity on May 15, 2025.
