Radiation is a major problem that the first manned mission to Mars will have to face, as we will be at the limit of what we can receive. A whole range of solutions exist to reduce the dose, and we will have to use them to the fullest extent. We will be constrained by the need to limit the mass transported and the energy required for the spacecraft’s propulsion, but we will be able to launch (2033)!

Worst case for a rotative Space station located in L1 of the Earth Moon system

After presenting the advantages of establishing a space station around the L1 Lagrange point of the Earth-Moon system, and then the advantages of having the station’s torus rotate at ≤ 2 rpm at a distance of ≥ 110 meters from its center, I would like to focus on the implications and show that our choice should be geared towards a compromise that is not the ideal station but the most realistic. Therefore, the ideal presented hereunder is the worst case. Next week, I will explain my choice.
