Mars Odyssey: Continuous Radiation Levels

202 Words1 Page

NASA's 2001 Mars Odyssey rocket was furnished with an uncommon instrument called the Martian Radiation Experiment (or MARIE), which was intended to gauge the radiation condition around Mars. Since Mars has such a thin air, radiation recognized by Mars Odyssey would be generally the same as at first glance.
Through the span of around year and a half, the Mars Odyssey test identified continuous radiation levels which are 2.5 times higher than what space explorers encounter on the International Space Station – 22 millirads every day, which works out to 8000 millirads (8 rads) every year. The rocket likewise recognized 2 sun based proton occasions, where radiation levels topped at around 2,000 millirads in a day, and a couple of different occasions

    The atomic bomb used in this test was identical to the bomb used during the first test, but the variable that the researchers changed was where the bomb was detonated. This atomic weapon was suspended ninety feet underwater, and the results on the fleet drastically changed. When this weapon was detonated it sent a mushroom cloud of water into the air that was over six thousand feet high and two thousand feet wide. The force of the explosion was so great that it threw the warship Arkansas out of the water and pinned it to the ocean floor upside down. The test also sent tsunamis to Bikini Atoll, which was about three miles away from the test site.
