Airline Pilots and Passengers Being Exposed to Radiation
Airlines prefer polar routes for transoceanic flights. They are shorter and have reduced winds. However, pilots and ordinary air travelers can be exposed to significant doses of radiation during solar storms, when flying those aviation routes. A new computer model developed by NASA is designed to help protect the public by predicting space weather hazards to aviation. Watch … [Read more...] about Airline Pilots and Passengers Being Exposed to Radiation
