Improving health outcomes for frequent flyers and aircrew members
By creating and deploying innovative instruments that provide detailed, precise measurements of radiation, SET aims to decrease the health risks associated with radiation exposure that frequent flyers and aircrew members face on a daily basis. The data collected also improves our scientific understanding of global radiation conditions due to space weather.
