February 9, 2022  The Ma­trosh­ka As­tro­Rad Ra­di­a­tion Ex­per­i­ment (MARE) will fly to the Moon on NASA's Artemis I mis­sion. The ex­per­i­ment will in­ves­ti­gate ra­di­a­tion ex­po­sure through­out the en­tire flight to Earth’s nat­u­ral satel­lite us­ing two iden­ti­cal ‘phan­toms’. Each of the man­nequins con­sists of 38 discs, mea­sures 95 cen­time­tres and con­tains or­gans and bones made of plas­tic of vary­ing den­si­ty. More than 6000 pas­sive dosime­ters con­sist­ing of small crys­tals are in­stalled at these lo­ca­tions and on the sur­face. In ad­di­tion, 16 ac­tive de­tec­tors are in­te­grat­ed in­to the most ra­di­a­tion-sen­si­tive or­gans of the body – lungs, stom­ach, uterus and bone mar­row.
