About
Vyacheslav Shurshakov is a leading expert in space radiation dosimetry, with a career dedicated to understanding and mitigating the hazards of the deep-space environment. His research focuses on the measurement and characterization of charged particle fluxes and their biological effects on spacecraft and astronauts. A key contribution is his work with the Liulin-MO dosimeter aboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, where he provided the first long-term, high-resolution measurements of the radiation environment in Mars orbit. His 2023 study, which has already garnered 15 citations, details the observation of solar energetic particle events and the estimation of dose equivalents from May 2018 to June 2022. This work is critical for planning future crewed missions to Mars, as it quantifies the actual radiation risks from galactic cosmic rays and solar storms. Shurshakov’s meticulous data analysis has established a benchmark for interplanetary radiation models, directly informing spacecraft shielding design and astronaut safety protocols. His achievements place him at the forefront of planetary radiation science, bridging the gap between orbital monitoring and human exploration.
