About

Moritz Kasemann is a leading researcher in space radiation physics, with his work directly informing the safety of human spaceflight beyond low Earth orbit. His primary research areas include the measurement and characterization of galactic cosmic rays, trapped particle belts, and solar particle events, with a focus on their biological risks—such as cancer, cataracts, and degenerative diseases. Kasemann’s most notable contribution is his landmark study, "Space radiation measurements during the Artemis I lunar mission" (2024), which has already garnered 30 citations. This work provided the first detailed, in-situ radiation data from a crewed-class vehicle traveling beyond Earth’s protective magnetosphere since the Apollo era. By quantifying acute exposure risks and tissue reaction thresholds, his findings are directly shaping shielding requirements and mission planning for NASA’s Artemis program and future Mars expeditions. Kasemann’s research bridges fundamental heliophysics with practical aerospace engineering, making him a pivotal figure in enabling safe, long-duration human exploration of deep space.
