About

Martin Leitgab is a leading researcher in space radiation physics, with a primary focus on characterizing the radiation hazards that threaten long-duration human spaceflight. His most notable contribution is the landmark study "Space radiation measurements during the Artemis I lunar mission" (2024), which has already garnered 30 citations. This work provides critical, real-time data on the complex radiation environment beyond low Earth orbit, measuring contributions from galactic cosmic rays, trapped particles, and solar events. By quantifying the risks of cancer, cataracts, and degenerative diseases, Leitgab’s research directly informs the design of shielding and mission protocols for NASA’s Artemis program and future deep-space exploration. His findings are essential for ensuring astronaut safety on the Moon and Mars, bridging the gap between theoretical risk models and empirical measurements. Through this high-impact work, Leitgab has established himself as a key figure in space radiation dosimetry, helping to turn the dream of sustainable human presence in deep space into a safer reality.
