About
Dr. A. Malakhov is a leading space radiation physicist whose work is critical to understanding the hazardous particle environment beyond Earth’s magnetosphere. His primary research focuses on the measurement and characterization of galactic cosmic rays and solar energetic particle events, particularly in Mars orbit. Dr. Malakhov’s most significant contribution is his instrumental work with the Liulin-MO dosimeter, a key module of the Fine Resolution Epithermal Neutron Detector (FREND) aboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO). His landmark 2023 study, which has garnered 15 citations, provides the first comprehensive, multi-year observation of the radiation environment at Mars from May 2018 to June 2022. This work presents critical data on charged particle fluxes, dose rates, and dose equivalent estimations, directly informing the risks future astronauts will face during deep-space missions. By characterizing the dynamic interplay between solar activity and the Martian radiation field, Dr. Malakhov’s research is foundational for both spacecraft shielding design and the long-term goal of human exploration of the Red Planet.
