About

Maxim Mokrousov is a leading space physicist specializing in planetary radiation environments and solar energetic particle events. His work centers on characterizing the hazardous radiation fields encountered during interplanetary missions, with a particular focus on Mars. Mokrousov’s major contribution lies in the analysis of data from the Liulin-MO dosimeter, a module of the Fine Resolution Epithermal Neutron Detector (FREND) aboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO). His most-cited paper, “Observation of the radiation environment and solar energetic particle events in Mars orbit in May 2018–June 2022” (2023, 15 citations), provides critical long-term measurements of charged particle fluxes, dose rates, and dose equivalent estimations. This work is instrumental for understanding the radiation risks to future human explorers and for validating models of space weather effects. Mokrousov’s findings directly inform the design of shielding and operational protocols for Martian missions, making him a key figure in planetary radiation safety. His research bridges observational space physics and applied astronautics, offering essential data for the next generation of deep-space exploration.
