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.
The annual peer-nominated and selected Faculty of Science Research Chair program recognizes research excellence and outstanding contributions by faculty members in Science’s eight departments and schools.
