Mission Overview • To test the effectiveness of aluminum and carbon fiber on reducing radiation levels • Radiation levels double at 12,000m above ground • Hypothesis: Both materials will lower radiation exposure to nonlethal levels, but aluminum will be block more radiation "Radiation Hazard at Aircraft Altitudes." Radiation Hazard at Aircraft Altitudes. N.p., n.d. Web. 28 Sept. 2012. <http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/info/RadHaz.html>.
Mission Overview Continued • This mission is being conducted to show what materials should be used in aircraft to maintain a safe environment for humans • Carbon fiber and aluminum are commonly used on aircrafts "Appendix C/Materials Used in Aircraft."
