A new study suggests a protective vest tested on a manikin during NASA’s first Artemis moonshot could slash the radiation exposure of lunar astronauts during severe solar storms. Scientists reported Wednesday on the radiation-shielding vest worn around the moon by a female test dummy named Zohar in 2022. No one was aboard that Artemis I debut flight, which paved the way for actual astronauts to return to the moon in April. Radiation remains one of the biggest threats as NASA works toward a moon base. The study appears in the journal Science Advances.
