NASA Space Radiation Laboratory Support Group

The NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) Support Group provides experimental, logistical and technical support at the NSRL. This facility is one of the few in the world that can simulate the harsh cosmic and solar radiation environment found in space. Biological studies determine the potential for radiation exposure to induce adverse health effects in humans, while also exploring promising new avenues for cancer and disease treatments. The testing of electronic components and equipment drives its design in order to withstand the radiation environment in space.
