Passive radiation shielding is a mandatory element in the design of an integrated solution to mitigate the effects of radiation during long deep space voyages for human exploration. Understanding and exploiting the characteristics of materials suitable for radiation shielding in space flights is, therefore, of primary importance. We present here the results of the first space-test on Kevlar and Polyethylene radiation shielding capabilities including direct measurements of the background baseline (no shield). Measurements are performed on-board of the International Space Station (Columbus modulus) during the ALTEA-shield ESA sponsored program. For the first time the shielding capability of such materials has been tested in a radiation environment similar to the deep-space one, thanks to the feature of the ALTEA system, which allows to select only high latitude orbital tracts of the International Space Station. Polyethylene is widely used for radiation shielding in space and therefore it is an excellent benchmark material to be used in comparative investigations. In this work we show that Kevlar has radiation shielding performances comparable to the Polyethylene ones, reaching a dose rate reduction of 32 ± 2% and a dose equivalent rate reduction of 55 ± 4% (for a shield of 10 g/cm2).

“…Sileye-3/Alteino follows two other devices, Sileye-1 and Sileye-2 (Avdeev et al, 2002) operational inside Mir in the years 1995-1998 and 1998-2000, respectively. These experiments have provided information on the relative nuclear abundances (Bidoli et al, 2001) and Light Flash perception (Casolino et al, 2003). In this work, we present the detector response and the calibration using cosmic rays.…”

“…The ALTEA program, leaded by UNITOV with the fundamental support of the industry (Thales Alenia Space Italia), includes also ground-experiments dedicated to the detailed study of radiation effects on living organisms. Radiation data have been acquired with the ALTEA detector system in the ISS from 2006 to 2012 (Casolino et al, 2006;La Tessa et al, 2009;Zaconte et al, 2010;Larosa et al, 2011;Narici et al, 2012Narici et al, , 2015 and they are of significant importance for future research in the field of Space Weather, especially in the context of human space exploration. Within this program ASI is now sponsoring the Light Ion Detector for ALTEA system (LIDAL), an upgrade of the ALTEA detector system, which will provide an even better ability to study the effect of solar particle events on a LEO habitat (Rizzo et al, 2018).…”

Italian teams have been involved many times in Space Weather observational campaigns from space and from the ground, contributing in the advancing of our knowledge on the properties and evolution of the related phenomena. Numerous Space Weather forecasting and now-casting modeling efforts have resulted in a remarkable add-on to the overall progress in the field, at both national and international level. The Italian Space Agency has participated several times in space missions with science objectives related to Space Weather; indeed, an important field for the Italian scientific and industrial communities interested in Heliophysics and Space Weather, is the development of new instrumentation for future space missions. In this paper, we present a brief state-of-the-art in Space Weather science in Italy and we discuss some ideas on a long-term plan for the support of future scientific research in the related disciplines. In the context of the current roadmap, the Italian Space Agency aims to assess the possibility to develop a national scientific Space Weather data centre to encourage synergies between different science teams with interest in the field and to motivate innovation and new mission concept development. Alongside with the proposed recommendations, we also discuss how the Italian expertise could complement international efforts in a wider international Space Weather context.
