Houston, we have a podcast.

Welcome to the official podcast of the NASA Johnson Space Center episode 75,

Radiation Shielding.

I'm Gary Jordan and I'll be your host today.

On this podcast we bring in the experts,

and scientists, engineers, and astronauts, all to let you know the

coolest information about what's going on right here at NASA.

So if you're familiar with us, you may have heard us talk about radiation before.

We've talked about the effects on living organisms from Dr.

Rana Patel on episode 57.

And we've had Dr. Steve Johnson tell us more about the physics

and the day-to-day operations on the space station

dealing with radiation and space weather on episode 64.

But today we're learning once again about Orion and how the spacecraft is built to withstand

the radiation environment of deep space from Matt Lemky. He's the Orion Avionics Power and Software Deputy Manager

here at the Johnson Space Center.

He understands how Orion is radiation hardened

so the systems inside can withstand the harsh

environment of space. The key word here is redundancy. So with no further

delay let's jump right ahead to our talk with Mr. Matt Lemky. Enjoy. T-minus, I second, then county.

Mark.

A long-ske mid-lights are correct. Here she goes. Isn't we have a podcast.
