MARE on the NASA Artemis 1 mission

Abstract

After years of planning the NASA Artemis 1 mission flying with the Orion spacecraft to the Moon and back is scheduled to be launched at the end of August 2022 for a mission duration of up to 42 days. The talk will provide an overview on the MARE hardware to be flown on the NASA Artemis 1 mission ( https://www.dlr.de/content/en/missions/mare.html ) both for the passive and the active radiation detectors and will further hopefully show already the first pictures of the MARE phantom as mounted in the Orion spacecraft. MARE is an international endeavor flying two female anthropomorphic phantoms (Helga & Zohar) to the moon and back. Zohar will be equipped with a newly developed (by StemRad) radiation protection vest (AstroRad). Both phantoms are equipped with thousands of passive radiation detectors as well as with a suite of active detectors.
