• As NASA gears up to return humans to the Moon and later send them to Mars, completely characterizing time-dependent radiation exposure beyond low-Earth orbit is becoming increasingly critical. Papers in this section describe an emerging system of coupled models (the Earth-Moon-Mars Radiation Environment Module) that characterize particle acceleration and transport in interplanetary space, secondary transport through shielding materials, and dose estimates in human tissue.
