Teach & Explore: Assessing Radiation Exposure for Astronauts on the Fram2 Private Spaceflight Mission

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](https://doi.org/10.18758/s7fav4s5) in the frame of the ASGARD@spacepole activity on May 15, 2025. ### Credits * [SPENVIS](https://www.spenvis.oma.be/) is a web-based tool developed and operated by the Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy for the European Space Agency providing an integrated interface to models of the space environment and its effects.
