A satellite built by McMaster students and researchers is heading into orbit to help protect astronauts as they travel further and stay out there longer.
Eight years. 150 students. One game-changing idea. This is the story of NEUDOSE, a state-of-the-art satellite and radiation detector that is set to launch aboard a SpaceX rocket.
With the help of the Canadian Space Agency, McMaster’s NEUDOSE satellite team has built one of the first satellites capable of measuring space radiation in real time. And they’re about to launch it into space on board a SpaceX rocket.
