About
Krasimir Krastev is a leading figure in space radiation research, with a focus on characterizing the hazardous particle environment around Mars. His work is central to the dosimetry efforts aboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO), where he contributes to the Liulin-MO instrument—a module of the Fine Resolution Epithermal Neutron Detector (FREND). Krastev’s most cited study, “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 equivalents. This research is vital for understanding the risks posed to future human missions and robotic assets by solar energetic particles and galactic cosmic rays. By delivering continuous, high-fidelity data from Mars orbit, Krastev’s work directly informs spacecraft shielding design and astronaut safety protocols. His contributions stand as a cornerstone of planetary radiation science, bridging the gap between raw sensor data and actionable insights for deep-space exploration.
