About

Sergiy Rozhdestvenskyy is a leading space radiation physicist whose work is critical to enabling safe, long-duration human spaceflight beyond low Earth orbit. His primary research areas encompass the measurement and characterization of the deep-space radiation environment, the biological risks posed by galactic cosmic rays and trapped particles, and the development of shielding and monitoring strategies for future lunar and Mars missions. His most impactful contribution to date is his lead authorship of the landmark study "Space radiation measurements during the Artemis I lunar mission" (2024), which has already garnered 30 citations. This work provides the first comprehensive, in-situ radiation data from a crewed-class vehicle traveling beyond the Van Allen belts since the Apollo era, directly informing risk assessments for cancer, cataracts, and degenerative diseases. By quantifying the complex mixed-field exposures from galactic cosmic rays and solar particles, Rozhdestvenskyy’s research is foundational for designing safer spacecraft and mission architectures. His findings are not only a technical achievement but a critical step toward realizing humanity’s next giant leap, making him a pivotal figure in the new era of lunar exploration.
