When the first moon landing was made in July 1969, there were very exciting moments for everyone. Of course your images It is fiction and there was no real moon landing. There were also believers. They supported these claims with some theories.

For example, how did the flag wave if there was no air on the moon, why were there no stars in the sky, how did footprints form if there was no moisture… We answered all of them in our previous content. We’ll leave it for the last. Our topic today How astronauts avoid dying from radiation.

First, let’s talk about the radiation belts that surround the world.

Radiation belts around the Earth “From All Generations” It is called and contains high energy particles that are captured by the Earth’s magnetic field. While the inner ear is made of protons, the outer ear is made of electrons.

Not only do they prevent harmful cosmic radiation from reaching our planet, they also provide protection for spacecraft and astronauts. It could be a serious threat.

How were the astronauts not affected by this radiation?

When the issue of going into space first came to the forefront, this radiation was a major concern for scientists, and astronauts were concerned about radiation. chance of death they were thinking. But it didn’t happen that way.

According to NASA’s statement, the Apollo 11 astronauts who went to the moon spent a maximum of 2 hours in these zones and where radiation was highest. They didn’t stay longer than 5 minutes. They adjusted the route accordingly. They avoided areas with the highest concentration of belts.

In addition, the spacecraft also absorbs radiation in a way that can absorb and reduce It was by design. That way, they were exposed to lower levels of radiation in the spacecraft.

Thanks to all these precautions and planning, astronauts perform their tasks safely without being harmed by radiation They were able to return.
