Spectral measurements and life science experiments using extreme radiation exposures at high altitude

  • The ASTRABAX project ("Aschaffenburg Stratospheric Balloon Experiment"), being funded for the years 2024 to 2026, is designed as a multimodal platform for the investigation of radiation exposures at high altitude. The UV-C spectral region is of special interest. Spectral measurements observe this region of interest using miniature UV-VIS spectrometers. The platform also contains a radiation dosimetry, a power source for on-board electronics, and common shielding setups for multiple spectral combinations. Human cells are exposed simultaneously to radiation of different compositions as particle, X-ray and UV radiation. After the flight, possible changes in the spatial chromatin organization are examined. Material samples intended for the development of satellite components are irradiated also. Investigations under such conditions are realistic and crucial for high altitude flights in the atmosphere, for space flights as well as for comparable exposures on other objects of the solar system, and even for exoplanet habitats to some extent.
