Future human space missions will require sustainable technologies in order to support crew activities and daily life far away from Earth. New material technologies will be needed to support these expeditions in Lunar and possible Martian environments.This activity will assess the possible use of new innovative, ultra-light weight space radiation dose shielding materials to protect humans inspaceflight and electronics (GPUs, FPGAs, CCDs, CMOSs). The nature of the protection is passive radiation shielding.The aim is to integrate this new shielding material into metal matrix composite with a new state of the art technology to be used as possible future structural material candidates. The proposed material’s weight should be lighter or equivalent with aluminium with a higher degreeof mechanical and radiation dose protection.
