About

Kerry Lee is a leading researcher in space radiation physics, whose work is critical to the future of human space exploration. Her primary research areas focus on characterizing the deep-space radiation environment and quantifying its biological risks to astronauts. Dr. Lee’s most notable contribution is her pioneering work on the Artemis I lunar mission, where she led the first comprehensive space radiation measurements beyond low Earth orbit in decades. Her 2024 paper on this subject, already garnering 30 citations, provides essential baseline data for understanding the hazards of galactic cosmic rays and solar particle events. This work directly informs risk assessments for cancer, cataracts, and degenerative diseases associated with long-duration spaceflight. By translating complex radiation data into actionable safety protocols, Dr. Lee’s research is foundational for NASA’s Artemis program and future crewed missions to Mars. Her achievements represent a critical step in enabling humanity to safely venture deeper into the solar system.
