-
- History
In this Space 3D episode, co-hosts Eleanor O'Rangers and Tom Hill had the opportunity to interview physicist and space radiation expert Jeff Chancellor.
Jeff is an Assistant Professofr of Physics at Louisiana State University, with research interests in applications of how heavy ion radiation interacts with soft and condensed matter for ground-based analogs, manned spaceflight vehicle structure, shielding, and clinical healthcare.
During part 1 of our interview, we’ll get to know Jeff Chancellor a bit better, including how he got interested in space radiation research. We’ll share some mutual admiration For All Mankind, including "nerding" out on a recent season 2 episode involving his favorite topic, and then we’ll get back to learning about Jeff’s involvement in the Red Bull Stratos mission, his patents in the space radiation field, and whether any of the monitoring hardware he has helped to develop has flown in space. We’ll ask whether Jeff had any words of wisdom on space radiation for his wife, Astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor, prior to her flight to the International Space Station, and we’ll end with defining the difference between the terms space radiation and space weather. Continuing in part 2 of our interview, we’ll begin to explore the specific risks posed by space radiation to space explorers.
