We have additional images of the microdosimeter. Please contact lhammit@bcm.edu to request photos.
Suggested Caption:
The microdosimeter instrument consists of small sensors connected to an electronics board, shown here without the casing. Spacesuits integrated with this technology can warn astronauts at the onset of an elevated exposure event, assess risk, and help crews determine safe locations during these periods.

Suggested Caption:
The electronic output module held by Vincent L. Pisacane, Ph.D., collects information from sensors housed in various locations within the spacecraft. The microdosimeter will use the measurements to directly estimate radiation risk.
