NASA Radiation Absorption in Tissue Samples:
Measurement of Radiation Flux
Sponsors

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our client, Mr. Douglas Holland, of NASA's Johnson Space Center. Additionally, we would like to acknowledge Dr. Elmer Grubbs, Mrs. Julie Heynssens, and Dr. Venkatraman all of which have been integral in our understanding and progression of this project.

Project Information

NASA is working with several biology majors from a different university to create and test a sensor which can accurately measure which biological cells in a given tissue sample absorb radiation and which cells allow radiation to pass through them. This has two applications:

  1. Ability to test radiation absorption by astronauts on long term space flights
  2. Cancer research testing
