Public Information Night on Friday 21 November 2025
Professor Susanna Guatelli, Head of the School of Physics at the University of Wollongong spoke on the subject of the effects of radiation on astronauts and means of protection from these effects.
Her presentation highlighted the significant engineering and science challenges that space travel poses for the routine use of space by humans. On behalf of all the members of the Association I thank Susanna for her time and effort to deliver an engaging and thought provoking presentation on one of the critical issues that will face mankind if we wish to operate off this small blue ball…
