About

Martin Kroupa is a leading researcher in space radiation physics, with a focus on characterizing the radiation hazards that threaten long-duration human spaceflight. His most notable contribution to date is his work on the Artemis I lunar mission, where he led key space radiation measurements that provided critical data on the deep-space radiation environment for the first time in decades. This landmark study, published in 2024 and already garnering 30 citations, directly informs risk assessments for cancer, cataracts, and degenerative diseases caused by galactic cosmic rays and trapped particles. Kroupa’s expertise spans the measurement and modeling of radiation from diverse sources, including solar particle events and cosmic rays, making his research essential for designing safer spacecraft and mission protocols. His work not only advances fundamental understanding of space radiation but also has immediate implications for NASA’s Artemis program and future Mars exploration. As a rising authority in the field, Kroupa’s contributions are shaping the next era of human spaceflight by turning raw radiation data into actionable safety guidelines.
