Space weather refers to the environmental conditions in space as influenced by solar activity, including solar flares and coronal mass ejections. These phenomena can disrupt satellite communications and navigation systems, as well as pose risks to astronauts.
Radiation exposure in space is a significant concern for astronauts, as they are exposed to higher levels of cosmic radiation compared to those on Earth. This exposure can increase the risk of cancer and other health issues, making it crucial to monitor and mitigate radiation levels during space missions.
