A radiation-shielding vest, AstroRad, successfully passed its Artemis I lunar test in 2022, indicating it could protect astronauts on long-duration missions to the moon or Mars. Designed by StemRad with support from the Israel Space Agency and Lockheed Martin, the vest aims to reduce radiation exposure from solar particle events, a key health challenge for deep-space exploration.
