DNA-damage sensor

DNA-damage sensor

Sensor for assessing the risk of damage to astronauts’ DNA through quantification of its fragments, caused by exposure to cosmic radiation and dust (on the Moon, Mars, inside/outside the International Space Station)   Development of the sensor’s operation...
DNA-damage sensor

Perchlorate Sensor

Sensor for detecting and measuring cosmic radiation-activated metal perchlorate salts on the surface of Mars and Moon   The necessity of the sensor arises from the risk of explosions of perchlorate salts after impact or friction on the surface of Mars where they...
